AUS vs NZ: Likely Pitch Conditions

Given the early morning start, concerns about dew affecting the game will likely be minimal. As winter gradually settles in India, the team winning the toss may opt to bowl first. Swing bowlers with the new ball could benefit from the morning conditions.

The early part of the game is expected to provide a batting-friendly pitch. However, once the ball ages, spinners could find significant assistance due to the abrasive nature of the pitch. As the sun intensifies, the surface is expected to become better for batting. Spinners are likely to find the conditions more favorable as the day progresses.
