The iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy action now moves to India’s capital, Delhi. The Arun Jaitley Stadium will host the five-day match between the two nations, which will begin on February 17th at 9:30 a.m. IST. In the last meeting at Nagpur, the hosts defeated the visitors by an inning and 132 runs, leading the four-match series 1-0.
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to be a bit on the dry side, which means the track could possibly get slow. Batting will be a little easier on this pitch.
India would be looking to continue its home dominance as the hosts eye a place in the WTC finals, while the Aussies would be eager to put their performance in the last game behind them and move ahead to win this game to dent India’s chances.
