Australia vs India, 1st T20I – Stats Preview

Australia will lock horns against India in the first T20I of the five-match series at the Manuka Oval, Canberra on Wednesday. The home team won the ODI series by 2-1 and they would aim to come up with a collective performance against the visitors.

Meanwhile, India were dominant in the Asia Cup but playing Australia in Australia will be a different curry altogether. Suryakumar Yadav hasn’t been in the best of forms and the Indian captain would want to be at his best in the series.
