Well before we get into the T20 match, how can we miss the recently concluded World Cup final and where India had lost to Australia in a one-sided affair. While whole of India would be hurting, no one will be hurting as the Indian cricket team. While in the T20 matches, overall Indian cricket team record is much better than Australian cricket team. But we can see a lot of new faces in Indian cricket team. While Australian cricket have a lot of faces who have recently played in the 50 over world cup, but Indian cricket team looks a totally new team with a lot of fresh and young faces.
India vs Australia 1st T20 – Squads
Let’s take a closer look at both the squads and then we can discuss them in more detail:
Australian Squad:
Mattew Short, Tim David, Travis Head, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Hardie, Sean Abbott, Mathew Wade, Josh Inglis, Tanveer Sangha, Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff, Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson.
Looks like a decent squad with a perfect blend of experience and new faces, it will give the new lot a lot of experience to play in the Indian conditions as some of them haven’t played even in IPL games. So, the conditions can be a little alien for them as well. But since they have few experienced team members as well, they can guide them and in doing so not letting the performance of the team go down.
Indian Squad:
Suryakumar Yadav, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashwasi Jaiswal, Tilak Verma, Rinku Singh, Washington Sunder, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Ishan Kishan, Jitesh Sharma, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar.
Though it’s a fairly young team, some of them have played international cricket for some time now, and now they will also know that they can no longer hide behind that they are getting experimented with rather now they will also have the burden of performing at the international level. This team has also won the recently concluded Asian games. Most of the players have made it into the Indian International Team. Hardik was supposed to lead the team but due to his injury in the World Cup, Surya Kumar Yadav is leading the effort.
While most of the team looks good, we have our reservations for Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan and Shivam Dube. Arshdeep Singh also not does not cut out for international matches.
India vs Australia 1st T20 2023 – 2023 – Prediction
Just looking man to man, we expect Australian cricket team to beat the Indian team 5-0, solely based on the experienced and skill level, Though Indian cricket team looks good in batting, we will be awfully short when it comes to bowling. We do expect Australia to win the toss and post a big score and defend it easily. If India will bats first, they might get to a decent total, but Australia will chased it down easily.
