IND vs AUS Pitch Report

The Carrara Oval in Queensland is likely to offer plenty of runs for the batters. Fast bowlers, however, could find some assistance early on, with the new ball expected to move around in the initial overs. Once the shine fades, though, the surface should settle nicely, making it favourable for stroke play and high-scoring partnerships.
