India vs Australia 2020 schedule: New South Wales government lifts crowd restrictions 

The recently-concluded India vs Australia ODI series was played in the presence of limited crowd capacity, owing to the contagious nature of the coronavirus pandemic. Apparently, the upcoming T20I series between the two nations will be played with full houses as the New South Wales Government recently relaxed several restrictions involving social distancing between the public. The three-match series, scheduled to commence from December 4 at the city of Canberra, will continue with New South Wales’ capital city Sydney hosting the final two games on December 6 and 8 respectively.

The relaxation of restrictions by the government also means that the third India vs Australia Test match is now eligible to hold capacity crowds. The match is scheduled to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground between January 7 and January 11 next month.
