India vs Australia 2023, 1st T20I – Dafanews Match Preview

India will lock horns against ODI World Cup champions Australia in the first T20I at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam on Thursday. Both of these two teams met four days ago in an ODI World Cup final, with Australia coming out on top to win their sixth title.

As life moves, it’s now time for a different format and almost two completely different teams will take on each other. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for Australia: W W W W W

Australia have won their last five T20I matches and they will be looking to continue the good show. Matthew Wade will look to lead from the front and get the best out of the young players, who will be determined to prove their mettle.

Current form for India: W W W W L

India has picked a young team and all of these players have proved themselves at the IPL stage. However, International cricket is a different ball game altogether and they will be looking to deliver for the team at the top level.

Head to Head: Matches: 26, Won by India: 15, Won by Australia: 10, NR: 1.

India holds a slight advantage against Australia in H2H.

Players to look out for: Matthew Wade, Travis Head, Adam Zampa, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Jason Behrendorff hold the key for Australia.

Suryakumar Yadav, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel and Ishan Kishan will be the crucial players for India.
