India vs Australia: Australia's Predicted Playing XI Against India- ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Warm Up Match

Australia take on India in an official warm-up game at The Gabba on October 17, Monday. The match starts at 9.30 am IST. The super 12 round begins on October 22 with the first match between Australia and New Zealand- the finalists of last year’s T20 World Cup. The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 final will be played on November 13.

Australia are the proud host of the tournament having won the T20 World Cup last year. They defeated New Zealand in the final. Heading into this tournament, they have had issues with form and fitness of a few players.

Skipper Aaron Finch has suffered a slump in his form. He batted at number four in the first two T20Is against England. Glenn Maxwell too has suffered a loss of form. He has not scored a fifty-plus score in more than his last 20 T20I innings for Australia.

Speaking about fitness issues, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis have just recovered from injuries. Both played the series against England. They are yet to be 100 per cent fit and are being monitored by the medical team. David Warner is expected to be rested after taking a blow on his head in the second T20I against England at Canberra. Given the availability of players, this might be Australia’s playing XI for the warm-up game against India.

Matthew Wade (WK)

If Warner is rested, Wade might open the batting against India. He has been used as a finisher off late by Australia. In this game, he might need to do the job at the top of the order.

Marcus Stoinis

The middle order of Marsh, Stoinis and Tim David is a huge plus for Australia in this T20 World Cup. His fitness, however, is a big question heading into this game.

Ashton Agar

The left-arm spinner should be one of the two spinners in the playing XI. He is a quality spinner and a handy option with the bat as well.
