Australia vs India 1st T20I in Canberra Weather Forecast
Having lost the recently concluded ODI series 2-1, Team India will now go against Australia in the three-match T20I series. On December 4, the first match of the much-awaited T20I series will be played at Manuka Oval, Canberra. It is going to be a crucial contest for the Men in Blues as they are facing a lot of scrutiny after an underwhelming show in the 50-over series. Team India bowlers are going through a rough patch and struggling to take wickets in regular intervals but the win in last ODI will surely boost their confidence.
Much like the third ODI, the weather in Canberra is expected to remain the same on Friday’s encounter too. There would be patches of cloud in the sky which will only make things better for the players.
