IND vs AUS Manuka Oval Pitch Report:
The wicket for the first T20I between India and Australia, scheduled to be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday (October 29), is expected to be good for batting.
The batters should enjoy batting on this surface, which will have something in it for the bowlers as well.
The batters will have to give the first couple of overs to the bowlers as tjerte will be done swing on offer for the pacers with the conditions being on the cooler side, and can then play their shots and aim to score an above-par total on the board.
The fast bowlers should look to make full use of the swinging conditions, as there is a high chance of rain during the match. Consequently, there might be some cloud cover, which will aid the pacers.
As far as the spinners are concerned, the slow bowlers might also end up getting some spin from the wicket in the first of the five IND vs AUS T20I matches.
Having said that, the spinners will have to do the holding job from one end for a major part of the game.
Bowling first after winning the toss should be the way to go as chasing has been the preferred option in the last few years in T20 cricket, and the upcoming match is expected to be no different.
The team that bats first should look to post a minimum of 180-190 runs on the board, while the bowling team should look to restrict the opposition to a score of less than 180 runs.
If we talk about the results of the IND vs AUS matches played at this venue, both teams have featured in one T20I game at the Manuka Oval, with India coming out on top.
The match in question was played in December 2020 when India toured Australia for four Tests, three ODIs, and as many T20I games.
India would want to build on that win and keep their unbeaten record in Australia's capital in check, while Australia would like to do the opposite and claim their first win against India at this ground.
Conclusion
India would like to earn back-to-back wins on their current tour of Australia, courtesy of a win in the first T20I, having won the final ODI in Sydney.
As far as Australia is concerned, the Mitchell Marsh-led side would also fancy their chances of getting over the line with a relatively young squad like their opponents, India.
