Australia vs India T20 Series 2016


The T20 series comprising of 3 matches will be played in Australia when the India team will tour the country next year in 2016. Matches will be played at Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney cricket ground. The two countries have delivering scintillating entertainment level whenever they locked horns with each other for Supremacy. India is no mug in T20 cricket as it advanced into the finals of last world cup tournament held in Bangladesh. Last time when the two teams met in the T20 series of only one match in 2013, India won hands down by 6 wickets. Plenty of water has flown under the bridge with Australian team improving by leaps and bounds.

Glen MAXWELL will continue to be a thorn in the eyes of Indian bowlers. The opening slot will be reserved for David Warner and he would love to go after the medium pace of BHUVANESHWAR KUMAR and MOHIT SHARMA. Indian spinner and pacers would have to be at their best if they want to win even a single match against the Australians.The Bowling line up of the host looks menacing at it will be spearheaded by MICHELL STARC and the ever incisive Hazelwood. They have the capacity to bowl the slower one and Yorkers at will to trouble DHONI and CO.  STEVE smith is in the form of his life and if India are not able to think out of the box, the can lose the series in a jiffy.

Indian openers look brittle due to the poor form of SHIKHAR DHAWAN. His weakness against the moving ball can be exploited by the pacers and later on by James Faulkner. The tourists have their task cut out however to achieve success, the prime spinner ASHWIN will have to take early wickets. Indian middle order looks solid with KOHLI and RAHANE but poor form of DHONI can be a dampener in the series.
