India will take on the Prime Minister’s XI in a 2-day warm-up match, starting November 30 in Canberra. The match serves as an important part of India’s preparations for the highly anticipated Pink-Ball Test against Australia, which is scheduled to begin on December 6 in Adelaide. The warm-up game will provide India with a final chance to acclimatize to the conditions before the start of the crucial Test.
India come into this warm-up match with confidence, having already secured a victory in the Perth Test. With a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series, the Indian team is aiming to continue their strong performance and extend their advantage heading into the second Test of the series.
In a major boost for the team, regular captain Rohit Sharma has rejoined the squad after a period of recovery. His return is expected to provide added leadership and stability to the side as they prepare for the challenges ahead. Additionally, Shubman Gill has also recovered from his injury and is fit to play in the upcoming matches, further strengthening India’s lineup for the remainder of the series.

Manuka Oval Pitch Report:
The pitch at Manuka Oval offers a fair contest between batters and fast bowlers. Early in the match, pacers enjoy notable assistance, with the ball swinging significantly. However, spinners may struggle to extract much support from the surface. As a result, the team winning the toss often prefers to bat first, aiming to post a challenging total.
