Australia’s last t20I engagement was with India on the Australian soil. The three-match series remained without result as rain poured down in the second match at Melbourne. Australia failed to defend 164 runs in the third and final T20I and conceded the match to India. Stoinis, Zampa, Starc impressed with their stints.
India toured New Zealand after leaving Australian shores. The visitors dominated the home side in ODIs but failed to replicate success in the T20I format. In the deciding third match, India could not chase down the total of 213 runs. Despite the best of their efforts, India fell only four runs short.

Australia:
Aaron Finch’s opening partner is uncertain. D’Arcy Short struggled in the IPL but had a good BBL recently. Finch and Short are likely openers.
Usman Khawaja could emerge at number three. Handscomb, Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis are likely to grace the middle order. Ashton Turner may feature in one of those places as a spin all-rounder.
Alex Carey will keep the wickets. Adam Zampa should get the preference over Lyon as the prime spinner.
Australia has a good pool of fast bowlers even with Mitchell Starc missing out. Pat Cummins, N Coulter-Nile, J Behrendorff, Jhye Richardson and Kane Richardson are the options.
India:
Mayank Markande will play today.
India is likely to experiment with few places with these being meaningless encounters. We are giving the best probable XI, kindly make needed changes after the toss.
Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the series due to a back injury, Kuldeep Yadav has been rested.
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan will open, there is no doubt about that. Virat Kohli should come back at his number three position.
Dinesh Karthik or KL Rahul can bat at no. four.
Dhoni and R Pant are likely to follow the top four. Vijay Shankar and Krunal Pandya should add depth to the batting.
Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal make up the bowling side.
Mayank Markande and Siddarth Kaul are reserved.

Aaron Finch, D Arcy Short, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jhye Richardson/Kane Richardson/Pat Cummins, Jason Behrendorff, Adam Zampa
