India vs Australia T20I Series Preview and Prediction
India have an upper hand over Australia in T20Is as they have beaten them 15 times out of the 26 matches played between the two teams. Furthermore, the Men in Blue have beaten the Kangaroos in the last two T20I series contested between the two teams. Hence, they will be eager to complete a hat-trick of wins in the upcoming series. However, Australia will not be an easy opponent as they have some quality players in their ranks who can turn the game in their favour.
The series will also be a good opportunity for both teams to test their bench strength and find their best combination for the T20 World Cup 2024. The series is expected to be a closely fought one with both teams having a chance to win it. However, India might have a slight edge over Australia due to their home advantage and recent form.
