The DR YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam is slated to be the venue for the first T20I in a five-match series between India (IND) and Australia (AUS) on Thursday, November 23. Despite the recent disappointment of India's six-wicket loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 finals on Sunday, cricket enthusiasts have little time for a respite. With the T20 World Cup on the horizon next year, attention is swiftly turning to the shortest format of the game.
Both teams have opted to give ample rest to the majority of players who participated in the recently concluded marquee event. Suryakumar Yadav will lead India for the first time, while Matthew Wade will take charge of the Australian contingent. The series promises to showcase numerous talented players, and there is a high likelihood of witnessing thrilling cricket in the upcoming days.

IND vs AUS: Pitch Report
India and Australia clashed in a T20I at this venue in 2019, and on that occasion, the visiting side emerged victorious. The ground dimensions, particularly the square of the wicket, are not very expansive. While the pitch is generally favorable for batting, it tends to offer more assistance to spinners in the second innings. Considering the dew factor, the captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first. Over the last 10 matches at the venue, the average score for the team batting first is 132. The stadium's trend suggests that chasing is advisable, with the team batting second securing victory in 67% of matches.
