IND VS AUS 1st ODI 2020 PREVIEW

Finally its time for Kohli and co. to take over Australian kangaroos on their own soil. Team India is playing its first match after lockdown, its been over 9 months since they last played a match together in the Indian jersey against New Zealand in February. This is going to be a two month long and hectic tour for both teams comprising of ODI, T20 AND TEST matches, with ODI series starting from tomorrow at Sydney. Both the teams are looking balanced but Australia has a slight advantage due to the unavailability of Rohit Sharma in the Indian camp. But apart from that, it is going to be a close contest. Australian batting order is looking very giant due to the presence of Finch, Warner, Smith and Labuschagne at the top order. India would rely heavily on Bumrah and Shami to take wickets upfront otherwise Australia will register a huge total on board. Spinners will have a big contribution in the match as Sydney's pitch provides turn and grip for slow bowlers. Chahal and Jadeja will have a pivotal role in the middle overs. On the other hand Indian batting looks decent in the presence of captain Virat and in form Rahul and Shikhar. Mayank will get a chance to showcase his talent at the top in the absence of Rohit. There is a mini battle at no.6 spot between Manish Pandey and Hardik Pandya. The latter is making a comeback for India after a long time. Mighty Australian pacers would be waiting for the match to begin as they will enjoy bowling at a Rohit less Indian batting on a pacy, bouncy wicket. Starc and Cummins will hunt in pair with the new ball and in the death overs. Zampa will be a key a factor in the middle overs for Australia. Now let us have a look at ODI statistics of Sydney cricket ground.

IND VS AUS 3rd ODI 2020 PREVIEW

  A whitewash down under...,maybe? maybe not? This question will be answered tomorrow at Canberra. Both the matches at Sydney were one sided with Indian bowling looking clueless against ever hungry Australian batsmen. India haven't lost the series due to batting, the team managed to score above 300 runs in both the matches, the main damage has been done by our bowlers, excluding Shami, no one else looked motivated and determined to take wickets, the biggest disappointment are Bumrah and Chahal who performed extraordinarily in IPL 2020 but looked out of touch against Aussie batsmen. Saini is a liability for the team and should be rested until he is fully fit. Natarajan should replace him tomorrow as he is a left arm pace, a rare commodity in Indian cricket. Jadeja is an economical bowler but he too has a responsibility on his shoulder to take wickets in the middle overs. Kuldeep must play tomorrow in place of either Shami or Bumrah if India decides to rest one out of the t...

IND VS AUS 3rd ODI 2020 SUMMARY

  Finally we can say, a complete performance by team India. After being bashed one sidedly at Sydney, they fought well at Canberra and resisted a whitewash. Virat won the toss and got third time lucky in this series, and of course opted to bat first on a flat deck of Manuka Oval. India made four changes in their side. Gill, Shardul, Natarajan and Kuldeep replaced Mayank, Shami, Saini and Chahal respectively. Natarajan made his debut for India. While Australia brought Cameron Green the debutant, Ashton Agar and Sean Abbott in place of Warner, Starc and Cummins. Indian openers started nicely especially Gill who looked compact and solid while playing strokes, he scored some good boundaries in the start, and even hit a short ball for six over fine leg. Unfortunately India lost its wicket in the sixth over with Shikhar Dhawan getting out to Sean Abbott. Virat then joined Gill and both batted with a positive intent and ran quick singles and doubles in the middle. They had a 56 run partne...

IND VS AUS 1st T20 2020 PREVIEW

  So After a one sided ODI series, we will move forward to the shortest and most uncertain format of the game...the T20's. Australia won the ODI's and will be high on spirits to take on India at Canberra today. While India who resisted a whitewash and won the 3rd ODI will carry a momentum with them, coming in this match. Players from both the teams participated in the recently concluded IPL 2020 and will be well versed with this format. Last time when both the teams played a T20 series against each other in Australia, the equation was 1-1.Talking about India, there are 2 inclusions to the squad of ODI that will play in the T20's, Sundar and D Chahar comes in place of Gill and Kuldeep. I want to clarify a mistake I did in my preview video which I posted the previous day, I forgot about KL Rahul as an opening option and counted only Agarwal and Samson as replacements of Rohit. Rahul walks straight into the playing xi as an opener after an outstanding IPL 2020. He will open al...
