There’s no more ODI World Cup. It’s time to turn our attention to the T20 World Cup, which will be held in the West Indies in June of next year. Team India’s preparations for the competition will begin with a home series against Australia. Starting on November 23, a five-match Twenty20 International series will include several players who did not participate in the ODI World Cup.
With Hardik Pandya still recovering from an ankle ailment, Suryakumar Yadav will lead India in the five-match Twenty20 International Series against Australia. In this format, Surya has been India’s most productive batter and is predicted to perform well. It remains to be seen, though, if his lackluster World Cup performance will have an impact on his performance here.
In the forthcoming five-match Twenty20 International series against India, Matthew Wade will captain Australia. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Cameron Green, and Mitchell Marsh will return home after the World Cup. Nonetheless, the team has important players like Travis Head, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, and Steven Smith.
IND vs AUS Team Preview & Squads
India
In this series, Yashasvi Jaiswal has the potential to be one of India’s best performers. The gifted young player appears to be a complete opener after making an impression at every opportunity. In seven T20Is, he has amassed 232 runs at a strike rate of 161 and an average of 38.66. Ishan Kishan will undoubtedly have the opportunity to excel here despite having to sit out the majority of the World Cup. Most usually, the wicketkeeper hitter will bat third. A word of caution: Rinku Singh is an exciting finisher. We are supporting him to succeed here because he is an impact player.
Arshdeep Singh will spearhead India’s bowling attack in the absence of the regular bowlers. He’s probably going to share the new ball with Prasidh Krishna. This new ball-starting combination may give up runs against Australia’s strong batting lineup because they lack expertise against elite hitters. It is, however, leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi who you need to watch out for. With his flair for taking wickets, the wrist-spinner ought to perform well in this situation.
Head, who scored an incredible 137 off 120 balls to win the World Cup final against India, was named player of the match. He will certainly be someone to keep an eye on. Since he has been playing on these courts for the past month, the aggressive opener has been in incredible form and will undoubtedly be a player to watch in this series. In this style, Glenn Maxwell is a real game-changer and is always dangerous. However, Tim David is a batter India needs to be cautious about. In Twenty20 Internationals, he has a strike rate of 163, and he can quickly put the opposition out of the match. David will undoubtedly go for India’s less seasoned bowlers.
In this group, Australia’s bowling seems to be their weakest point. Adam Zampa, a leg-spinner, will be their primary weapon. He was in excellent form during the most recent World Cup and is familiar with these surfaces. Leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha, left-arm fast Spencer Johnson, and versatile all-rounder Matt Short have all been given another chance to make an impression.
