- In 14 home tests since 2008-09, India has 11 wins and one loss versus Australia.
The second Test between India and Australia begins on Friday morning at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India dominated the first Test of the series in Nagpur, defeating Australia by an inning and 132 runs in three days to take a 1-0 lead. This game will begin at 09:30 a.m. local time.
India was too powerful for Australia in Nagpur, and we expect them to take the lead early in this Test. Of course, Australia would try to respond, but India should be too strong for them at this site again.
The margin of defeat in the first Test will have affected Australia, and they will be anxious to put in a more comprehensive performance in Delhi. However, beating India on this pitch will be extremely difficult.
India vs Australia Weather Report, Toss Prediction, and Pitch Report
In Delhi, the weather will be predominantly bright, with some cloudy periods throughout the next five days. We anticipate that the maximum temperature will rise from 28 degrees on Day 1 to the low 30s for the duration of the Test.
The pitch will be at its flattest over the first two days of the Test, and both captains will bat first if they win the toss.
This site always has a lot to offer spin bowlers, and we expect a big turnout starting on Day 3. A par score in the first inning will be more than 350.

India is the favourite to win this match.
Although the First Test was not as competitive as some analysts predicted, the game was nonetheless fascinating, and we expect more of the same in this game. Australia is never a squad that surrenders and refuses to fight. They will attempt to bat longer and not lose any wickets during this Test. However, India has players with the skill and experience to play in this country. We anticipate that India will win again.
