IND vs AUS: Pitch Report:
Initially, batters were given preference on the pitch, and the stadium is known for having some of the best tracks. However, because of the low bounce in the second inning, it has also helped the spinners by making it more difficult to score runs. The team that bowls second has occasionally been impacted by the dew factor, although that is unlikely to become the case when rain is predicted.
