Ahead of the match, Australia will take a two-day break in preparation for the upcoming Delhi Test match.

Another tough game ahead

Things are not looking good ahead of the match for Australia, as the Arun Jaitley Stadium has a history of featuring a spin-friendly wicket where teams usually score plenty of runs on the first two days.

Moreover, the climate in Delhi is already warming up meaning the conditions will remain dry. Pat Cummins and his team Co can expect another turner in Delhi, for which they will have a two-day break. The World No 1 Test side has previously lost two consecutive Tests in Asia by an innings. Their last match in Asia was against Sri Lanka who handed them with an innings and a 39-run defeat.

IND vs AUS Delhi test pitch report

The Arun Jaitley stadium, previously the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium is generally favourable for spinners and batters. The stadium’s average first innings total is around 342, while it goes down to about 165 in the 4th innings. Following the 1^st test match between the two sides, Australia can will look forward to another round of spin demolition in Delhi. Moreover, the low bounce on this track usually makes it difficult for batters to play some good shots.

Most recent match at Arun Jaitley Stadium

India’s most recent match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi was against South Africa in an ODI last October. The Proteas got knocked out at 99 runs with the Indian spinners bagging 9 wickets in the match. Kuldeep Yadav made a standout performance with four wickets.

Australian captain Pat Cummins has already warned the batters ahead of the match. Despite the likely return of Travis Head, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc, Australia will be looking to sport a stronger batting performance.

Meanwhile, Steve Smith who has a good amount of experience with the Delhi pitch having played for Delhi Capitals will be looking to make the most of his experience during the match.
