AUS Team News:
Playing combination: M Wade was very strong as an opener in the last game. A Finch should come back from injury to occupy the other opening slot. S Smith is the anchor at number 3 while all-rounders G Maxwell, M Henriques and M Stoinis will complete the batting line-up. The management could think of giving M Labushagne or A Carey some game time by resting Smith. A Zampa, A Tye and S Abbott will be the strike bowlers while M Swepson could be picked ahead of N Lyon as India have all right-handers in the middle-order.

In AUS vs IND Dream 11 prediction, KL Rahul is India’s best T20 batsman while H Pandya has made useful contributions too. In bowling Y Chahal is the strike weapon with D Chahar a key asset with the new ball and T Natrajan’s emergence makes him the X-Factor. Australia on the other hand will expect S Smith and G Maxwell to do the bulk of the run-scoring with A Zampa and Abbott as the key wicket-takers. M Wade’s stunning form could be the X factor for the team.
AUS vs IND Dream11 Prediction:
Wicket-keepers: M Wade, KL Rahul,
Batsmen: S Smith,, S Dhawan, V Kohli
All-rounder: G Maxwell, M Henricques, H Pandya
Bowlers: A Zampa, T Natarajan, Y Chahal,
Captain and vice-captain:
KL Rahul followed his knock of51 runs from 40 balls in the 1st game by making 30 runs from 22 balls in the second game. He could add to his runs tally in this game.
H Pandya has improved leaps and bounds as a finisher and is striking the ball incredibly well. He made 42* off just 22 balls in the last game. He had made 2 scores of 90 plus in the ODIs and is in terrific form.
M Wade made a strong statement in the last game by making 58 runs from 32 balls in the last game as an opener. He looked at ease against all Indian bowlers and this confidence makes him a good choice for captain.
V Kohli scored a six off a scoop shot in the last game. It was an astonishing moment as it showed Kohli doing everything to rediscover his previous incredible form. He made 40 runs from 24 balls in the last game and looked in good touch. And the thing with Kohli is that once he starts scoring runs, there is absolutely no stopping him.
Australia is plagued with injuries and in the last game, they probably fielded their worst bowling attack of the decade. That gives India an immense advantage. So in the AUS vs IND Dream11 today match prediction, expect IND to win the game.
