India and Australia will kickstart a three-match T20I series on September 20th. The first match will be held at Mohali. On that note, here, we take a look at the pitch report of Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium and the weather conditions in Mohali for India vs Australia 1st T20I.
India had a forgettable run in Asia Cup 2022. In the Super Four stage, the team lost encounters against Sri Lanka and Pakistan and hence was eliminated. This set doubts on India’s chances in the 2022 T20 World Cup. The men in blue now have six T20I games before flying to Australia and they must address most issues in the three games against Australia.
On the other hand, Australia has actually become stronger after their 2021 T20 World Cup win. The likes of Tim David have been added, which has further strengthened the squad. It now needs to be seen if they can hand India a loss at their home.

The stadium in Mohali has traditionally been very good for the batters. More often than not, we witness high scores at this venue. Hence, it is a no-brainer that the captain winning the toss must choose to chase.
So far, 5 T20Is have been played in Mohali. Team India has never lost a T20I game at this venue. Hence, they will have a record to maintain next Tuesday. The average score batting first is 178 and this will be the par T20 score in this generation. Spinners could have favorable conditions and this might define the outcome of the fixture.

The temperature could hit 32 Degrees Celsius in the afternoon but during the game, this could drop by 3 Degrees Celsius. There will be humidity of close to 66% but it should be okay for the players on the field. The weather will be partly cloudy but no rains are expected.
