IND vs AUS Pitch Report

It's worth noting that the two teams will face each other for the first time in this format on this ground. India last played an ODI against Australia in Hobart several years ago, where they lost.

According to the pitch report, the conditions here have initially been favorable for the bowlers, allowing them to move. However, as the match progresses, it becomes more favorable for the batsmen. Therefore, winning the toss and electing to bowl first should be considered.
