India vs Australia 2019: 1st T20I, Visakhapatnam - Australia's Predicted XI

India vs Australia 2019: 1st T20I, Visakhapatnam – Australia’s Predicted XI; After facing the defeats in ODI and Test series back home, now, it is the time for Australia to take an act of revenge against Indian National Cricket Team. They will be starting their Indian tour from Visakhapatnam, which will be hosting the first T20I game. Meanwhile, we figured out their playing XI for the first game.

Here are they:

1. Aaron Finch:

The Australian opener and the skipper of Australian will once again be the cynosure of the eyes. However, this time for his poor batting form. After taking the captaincy, he hardly achieved success in knocking runs for his country. Besides that Aaron Finch – The Captain, would like to hand Australia their first series victory after a long wait.

2. D’Arcy Short:

The left-handed Australian has gained a fair bit of knowledge of Indian conditions during his stint with Rajasthan Royals. The flamboyant batsman would like to make the most of the opportunity. Besides his batting, he can be useful with his bowling as well.

3. Usman Khawaja:

The stylish left-handed batsman might take the number 3 position in absence of Chris Lynn. This would be his best chance to cement his place in the side after being dropped out in the recent past. Much like Finch, Usman Khawaja would also like to show his class to Indians in the white-ball format.

4. Peter Handscomb:

Handscomb has been pretty exceptional in the ODI series against India. He has shown great composure in the middle and peaked at the right time to give a handy total on the board. Peter played out Indian spinners nicely by tackling them with his brilliance. Once again, he would play a pivotal role in the team.

5. Glenn Maxwell:

The swashbuckling batsman will be the key player for Australia in winning the games. He has got the great ability to change the complexion of the game in a few deliveries. Besides that, he can also be utilised as the part-time bowling option.

6. Marcus Stoinis:

The all-rounder of Australia Marcus Stoinis is in great touch in both sections of the game. Perhaps, he is the only cricketer in the Australian cricket, who is delivering the goods on a regular basis. He played a key role when India toured Australia and once again, will be eager to perform against the same unit in different conditions.

7. Alex Carey:

The left-handed batsman is one of the consistent run-scorers for Australia in the recent past. He has been brilliant whenever he got chances in the middle. Carey will once again bat at the number 7 position, as the top-order slots are filled with few big names.

8. Pat Cummins:

The red-hot bowler in Australia Pat Cummins will certainly be in the playing XI for Australia. He would be the cynosure of the eyes for obvious reasons. It would be interesting to see how he performs in Indian conditions.

9. Jason Behrendorff:

The left-handed fast bowler troubled Indians when he toured India and also decent in the recent past. He might outclass Kane Richardson in that slot to play in the first ODI against India. Jason will also bring the variety to the pace attack, as a remaining couple of fast bowlers are right-handed.

10. Jhye Richardson:

Well, Jhye Richarson has got the star image for his brilliant performance when India toured Australia. He would once again be the player to watch out in the upcoming series. His player battler with Virat Kohli would be an interesting aspect of the game.

11. Adam Zampa:

Adam Zampa will take the spinner slot ahead of Nathan Lyon in the side. Zampa has provided a few memorable performances and has been doing a good job for the Melbourne Stars. He was also pretty good in the T20I series against India.
