IND vs AUS 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Prediction Dream11 India tour of Australia 2020-21: Pitch Report, Top Fantasy Picks, Probable XIs, Dream11 Team Prediction For Today’s India vs Australia T20 1st T20I at Manuka Oval, Canberra: After registering a morale-boosting win over Australia in the third and final ODI to avoid a series whitewash, the Indian team will take on the hosts in first of the three T20Is to be played at the Manuka Oval on Friday. India will, however, miss the services of pace bowler Shardul Thakur who was the standout bowler in Wednesday’s ODI, picking three wickets including that of Steve Smith, to help his side win by 13 runs. The Indian team management has made it clear that players from only the T20I squad, originally selected, will be picked for the three-match series which means that apart from Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav — who contained the Aussies with one for 57 and Shubman Gill, who impressed with a 39-ball 33 as opener, both performances coming on Wednesday — cannot feature in the T20 team unless there is injury concern to one of the main players.
India’s record in T20Is in Australia is superior to the hosts in their duels. Till date, they have played nine matches against each other with India coming out winners on five occasions. The Australians have won thrice with one game ending as no result. Importantly, India have never lost a T20I series in Australia — they lost a one-off game in 2008. Skipper Virat Kohli had lamented Indian players’ inability to switch to ODI mode from T20 mode soon enough after the loss in the first ODI. Thakur also said on Wednesday that the two formats are quite different. The challenge for India as well as Australia will be to switch to the T20 format less than 48 hours of completing their ODI series. Though they played the long Indian Premier League season less than a month ago, the three-match ODI series forced them to switch their game to the 50-over format.
