IND vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis
A new-look Indian side took down a resurgent Australia in the first T20I at Visakhapatnam to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. While the Aussies lost the high-scoring game, they wouldn’t be too disappointed, as they had a lot of positives to take from it. India, meanwhile, will try to make it 2-0 when the two sides meet again this Sunday at Thiruvananthapuram.

TEAMS PREVIEW
India Preview
With many of their regular players missing out, the odds are stacked against this Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian side in this series, even though they were playing at home. Then they were put under pressure in the very first game after Australia slammed 208-3 in their 20 overs. However, captain Surya led from the front with a majestic 42-ball 80 to guide his team to a thrilling win.
Ishan Kishan was the other standout performer for his stylish 58 off 39 balls. The wicket-keeper batter looked rusty at the start but finally got his momentum going. He will definitely be one of the players to watch out for.
Rinku Singh lived up to the title of being a proficient finisher as he calmly saw his side home with an unbeaten cameo of 22 off 14 balls.
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal missed out on an impactful knock. However, this young man is a future star, and we are expecting him to make some attractive contributions in the coming games.
India’s bowling looked rather hapless against Josh Inglis’ onslaught, except for Mukesh Kumar, who gave away just 29 runs from his 4 overs. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi was taken apart, but we are still backing him to deliver in this game. He is a genuine wicket-taker and can turn the game in the middle overs.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Prasidh Krishna/ Avesh Khan

Australia Preview
Australia’s batting was mighty impressive in the first T20I. While Josh Inglis blasted his way to a 47-ball hundred, Steve Smith steadied things with a classy 52 off 41 balls.
Marcus Stoinis couldn’t do much in the previous game, but this is a format he thrives in. In the last 10 matches, the all-rounder has scored 206 runs at an average of 41.2 and a strike rate of 157.25.
Tim David has been striking it at almost 163 in T20Is and is one of the most dangerous finishers in the world at the moment. He will pose a significant threat to India’s inexperienced bowling attack on these pitches.
Australia’s bowling let them down in the first match, and it can be their bane throughout this series. Barring Jason Behrendorff, their attack seems rather tame. Perhaps they might try Kane Richardson in the next game, as he has a little more experience than the others in the unit.
The team management had decided to rest Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, and Adam Zampa as they had participated in the recent World Cup. It will be interesting to see if they are brought back after this loss.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short, Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (c & wk), Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Jason Behrendorff, Tanveer Sangha

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
This isn’t a high-scoring venue, traditionally. However, we do expect a good batting wicket for this game. It is unlikely to be as flat as the one in the previous game, but batters should generally have a good time here. Spinners, though, should find more purchase here. If that does happen, India will have the edge, as Ravi Bishnoi will then become lethal.
Showers are expected in the afternoon in Thiruvananthapuram, and we might get a rain-curtailed game.
IND vs AUS Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Greenfield International Stadium is only 114. The highest total posted here in T20Is is 173/2 by West Indies while chasing a target of 171 against India in 2019. The team batting first would look to set a target of around 180-190 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Two of the three T20Is played at the Greenfield International Stadium have been won by the chasing side. With winter setting in and dew likely to make an appearance in the second half of the game, the team winning the toss is very likely to field first.
IND vs AUS
Winning Prediction
India will be delighted with their batting performance in the first T20I; however, their bowling is still a worry. This strong Aussie batting unit is likely to cash in on their inexperience again unless the pitch turns out to be a slow one. Australia too have issues with their bowling and need to do a lot better. If Zampa is rested again, their bowlers might get tonked all over the park again. The momentum is with India, and they will now be feeling confident about continuing their strong performance. It’s hard to call, as both teams have an inexperienced bowling attack and a formidable batting unit, but we feel India just might have the edge in this encounter.
We are backing India as the winners of this game.
