India vs Australia Live Score: Pitch Report

Ravi Shastri: Same wicket that was used for India vs Pakistan. It’s different because it has been left open for quite a long time. It looks dry. Looks patchy especially in the areas where spinners will land the ball. I expect it to turn. Batting first, getting runs on the board is premium.”

IND Vs AUS Live Score: Win Toss And...

Australia legend Ian Chappell, advises the team winning the toss to bat first to avoid the prospect of chasing a daunting target. “The team that wins the coin flip should consider batting first in hopes of both putting a solid target on the board and also consigning their opponents to fielding in the heat of the afternoon. The last thing either India or Australia want is to be chasing a daunting target like the one New Zealand faced in their semi-final,” Chappell wrote.
