IND vs AUS, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The surface at the Greenfield International Stadium provides more assistance to the bowlers, especially the spinners; but things might also go in favour of the batters if the dew factor comes into play in the second innings of the game. Considering the role of Dew, the captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first and chase the target under the lights.
