India and Australia will take on the series decider in Hyderabad on September 25th. Here, we take a look at the pitch report of the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium and the weather conditions in Hyderabad for IND vs AUS 2022.
After the loss in the first game, India managed to win the second encounter and stay alive in the series. The Aussies were actually not that bad in the second match and therefore, we can expect them to give a strong reply on Sunday. Hence, an intense encounter is on the cards for the fans.
From India’s perspective, a win is much-needed. The team has a few out-of-form cricketers and they must find their form at the earliest. The management will hope that this will happen in Hyderabad on Sunday.

Till now, Hyderabad has seen only four T20I fixtures happen. Out of this, teams batting first and second each share a winning record of 50%. However, based on the first two games and the fact that rainfall might happen, captains will have an easy decision to make at the toss, which will be to field first.
The average score batting first is just 131 but it is likely to improve on Sunday, especially with two strong batting teams in action. Virat Kohli‘s 94* against West Indies in 2019 is the highest score on this venue and the team will hope for a similar show from India’s No.3 against Australia.

Hyderabad is expected to have a temperature of around 24 Degrees Celsius during the game after 7 PM. While the temperature is fine, there is a threat of rainfall on Sunday.
Isolated thunderstorms are expected on September 25th and this is more likely at the night. Therefore, we can witness a few breaks and could as well have a shortened game for the decider.
