The first game of the 3 match T20 series between India and Australia will be played in Punjab starting 7:30 PM IST tonight.
This series against Australia will be a good litmus test for the Indian team to test the waters against the best in the world. Expect to be a highly competitive series. India and Australia have a competitive rivalry that goes back years and this series is going to be yet another chapter added to that furious contention.
India should bring to the field most of the players who are in the world cup squad to give them a little bit of game time before a crucial tournament like the T20 World Cup and should put their best foot forward. Not at all taking the Australian team lightly as they are undoubtedly the best even though they are missing their senior players Mitchell
Starc, Marcus Stoinis and David Warner. India Should be looking to finalize their middle order just before the T20 World cup in this series as there is room for experimentation with the batting order. It’s an opportunity to try out various
players in different positions. This is going to be nothing less than an enthralling series.
