Manuka Oval is classically renowned for laying on real batting wickets that provide even bounce and carry. In 22 so far T20 matches hosted here, the average first-innings score is close to 150 runs, indicating that batsmen can easily score once they establish themselves. The highest score in this ground is 195, achieved by the South Africa Women’s team. As this is Canberra’s opening match of the season, the pitch will most likely be fresh and loaded with runs. Under lights, the ball should come well onto the bat, though spinners can expect some assistance later on. Seamers, however, might receive help early on with the brand-new ball with the breeze in Canberra evenings.
According to the weather forecast by AccuWeather, there are chances of rain in Canberra in the morning and the weather will remain cloudy and cool throughout the day. In the evening the weather will remain mostly cloudy with 94% cloud cover and the temperature will be approximately around 10 degrees Celsius.
Gill attacked with a spectacular six over mid-wicket, while both batters rotated strike well with singles and a quick double. Kuhnemann’s variations troubled SKY at times, but India capitalized on loose deliveries.
Bartlett bowled a mix of short and slower deliveries. Suryakumar Yadav survived a tough chance with a high shot that was dropped, while both batters rotated strike with singles and a double. A wide slower ball added to the scoring opportunities.
Spin introduced, and both batters handled it confidently. Gill used the pull effectively for a couple of twos, while Suryakumar Yadav swept a fuller ball powerfully for four. Good rotation of strike throughout.
A steady over from Stoinis featuring smart variations in pace. Gill found a boundary off a full toss to relieve pressure, while the rest were controlled singles and doubles. The powerplay concluded after 5.2 overs.
A tight over from Hazlewood, except for one big hit - Suryakumar Yadav flicked a short delivery for the first six of the match over deep square leg. Otherwise, Hazlewood kept things tight with good pace and line, conceding just singles and dots.
Gill started aggressively, hitting two fours - one fine glance and one straight drive. A close LBW review went Australia’s way but remained umpire’s call. Ellis then dismissed Abhishek Sharma with a slower delivery, caught by Tim David at mid-off. Suryakumar Yadav came in and took a single to end the over.

Australia wins the toss opts to bowl first.
“He even had an amazing Asia Cup and to deliver under pressure in a multi-nation tournament final against Pakistan demonstrates his growing maturity. As a left-hander, who plays spin well and excels against pace with his pull shots, he adds crucial balance to our batting line-up,”

No.1 batter - Abhishek Sharma
No.1 bowler - Varun Chakaravarthy
“This Australian tour presents an interesting scenario. While team victories often overshadow individual performances, any downturn in results will raise questions. As India’s T20I Captain and someone who’s been the number one-ranked batter in T20I cricket for a long period of time, Suryakumar’s extended run without significant scores at number three will inevitably create internal scrutiny,” said Nayar said on Jio Hotstar
