IND vs AUS Team Analysis

India

India have won against Afghanistan and Bangladesh so far but this is their real contest. Against Australia, they will need to be at their best. The opening combination of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has not yielded runs so far.

The lower order of Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya have scored some crucial runs. India's bowling attack looks almost on par with Australia's with Jaspeit Bumrah going great runs. Kohli, Rohit, SKY, and Bumrah will be key against Australia.

Australia

The Aussies have been dominant against all the teams they have played so far. However, for once, they were found out as Afghanistan beat them by 21 runs in their previous match. They notched up important wins against England and Scotland.

They won on the DLS method against Bangladesh and now are looking forward to India. David Warner and Travis Head look to be a dominant pair. Pat Cummins is fresh off a hat-trick against Bangladesh and Mitchell Starc has been breathing fire. All in all, Australia will test India on Monday.

IND vs AUS Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The Daren Sammy Stadium has been a batting-friendly one. A few 180-plus totals have been posted. Batting first has been the way to go as teams have found it difficult to chase at this ground. England could not chase 164 against South Africa. The team batting first has a definite edge in the match.

Form and Fitness 

There are no fitness concerns for both teams. Form-wise the opening combination of Australia looks more deadly than the combo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli who have not yet scored big runs. The bowling attacks looks very similar for both teams with Azam Zampa and Kuldeep Yadav expected to play a key role.

Tactical Acumen

Rohit Sharma the Indian skipper is a much more experienced captain than Mitchell Marsh who has been given Australia's T20I captaincy. Rohit needs to be smart with his decision-making if India is to topple Australia. He needs to understand the match-up and prevent the big hitters from going big. With the bat, he needs to give Team India a good start.
