The weather for the IND vs AUS 2nd T20I 2022 might turn out to be a spoilsport. There were reports that the training session for Team India had to be cancelled due to heavy rainfall and one cannot rule out the possibility of the heavens opening up and interrupting the clash. There's a good chance that it would rain, right from the time of the toss itself, according to the weather report and fans would only hope that it turns out otherwise.

VCA Stadium Pitch Report

The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur would be the host of the India vs Australia 2nd T20I 2022 on Friday. The pitch at this stadium would offer something for both the batters and bowlers. But an interesting thing that has to be noted here is that chasing teams have struggled in the past. The team who wins the toss might just have a bat first to also counter the dew factor, which might kick in in the second innings, especially with a cloudy and rainy weather.
