IND vs AUS, Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The surface at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is quite a bit batting-friendly as the fans saw a score of more than 400 runs when India and South Africa locked horns last time in a T20I clash in October 2022. Apart from that, the dew factor might also play a crucial role in the second innings while chasing the target.
