Nagpur Pitch Report

The wicket and the conditions at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium will definitely assist the spinners to a great extent. The pitch is expected to start turning from Day 1 as seen in the last few years in Indian conditions. As seen over the years, the Nagpur track has provided some reverse swing to the pace bowlers as well. It will surely be really challenging for both the India and Australian batsmen, thus the batters who are set on the crease should make it count. The captain winning the toss should choose to bat first and picking more spinners from both Australia and India will be a good option from fantasy cricket point of view.
