IND vs AUS Bengaluru Pitch Report

Traditionally a very high scoring venue. One of the reasons is the lush green outfield. It is electric quick and it isn't the longest. Square boundaries - 66 metres and 65 metres, downtown is 76 metres. It's a very good track. On a fuller length, it's quite dry and it has got this kind of mosaic pattern to it, might turn a little bit.

"Through the middle - a little bit more grass, but the grass is in patches. Maybe a little inconsistent with both pace and bounce. Don't think there'll be dew factor involved with the overcast nature right now. India will probably want to bat first, put the middle order of Australia under pressure with a big scoreboard pressure because of the nature of the surface," Deep Dasgupta and Matthew Hayden said.
