After a loss in the first T20I, India will be keen to make amends in Nagpur. The second T20I will happen in the city on September 23rd. Australia will look to seal the series here. On that note, here, we take a look at the pitch report of the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium and the weather conditions in Nagpur for the second IND vs AUS T20I
India has very few games before the T20 World Cup. The team is failing to be consistent and a lot of changes are happening with the XI. It is high time that these issues are fixed, starting from the second T20I. At the same time, the hosts will not want to concede a series defeat to Australia with one game to go. This will dent their confidence ahead of the next tournaments.
Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur pitch report for IND vs AUS 2022
So far, a total of 12 T20I games have happened at this venue. Out of this, the teams batting first have won nine matches. Also, the average score in the second innings is just around 130. Therefore, we could expect Rohit Sharma or Aaron Finch to opt to bat first if they win the toss.
Mohammad Naim’s 81 in 2019 against India is the highest individual score on this pitch while Deepak Chahar’s 6/7 against Bangladesh is the best bowling performance. It might actually not be a surprise if Deepak does get a game at Nagpur. Hailing from the city, Umesh Yadav might also get another extra game here.
Nagpur weather conditions for IND vs AUS 2022
It was good to witness an uninterrupted game on Tuesday. The fans can expect the same on Friday. There is cloud cover expected on Friday but it is unlikely that it will result in rainfall. On the other hand, the temperature is likely to be around 26 Degrees Celsius during the game, which can be considered suitable for the players and the fans at the stadium.
