IND VS AUS 3rd T20 2020 PREVIEW

 

A Dead rubber at Sydney tomorrow as India have already clinched the T20I series and have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0. But the visitors will come in full force as they have a chance to repeat history and whitewash Australia on their own soil, just what they did in 2016. While Australia will try to rectify their mistakes and play for their pride. Indian team is likely to remain unchanged after a brilliant performance in the second T20. They have momentum on their side and all the batsmen are looking in great form. However, Samson would want to score a big knock as his tendency to throw his wicket after a getting a good start is very much prevalent in the first two matches. Otherwise there are no worries in the batting department. Coming to India's bowling, the bowlers had a bad day in the previous match and went for a lot of runs. Sundar was destroyed by Wade in the powerplay which is known as his strength. Chahar was very costly, and so was Chahal. The lone standout performer was Natarajan, who was only playing his third international match for India and bowled outstandingly, he did variations in his length, executed yorkers well and proved to be successful. But other bowlers have to make a mark in the last match if India wants 3-0 clean sweep. Australia on the other hand would think where did they went wrong. They played a full strength team in the whole series apart from Warner who is injured but still lost the series and are now on the verge of getting whitewashed. Justin Langer the coach hinted that Finch may play tomorrow and lead the side after being out from the 2nd T20. Which means Darcy Short has to sit out because Matthew Wade batted amazingly in the previous match and will continue to open for the Aussies. the middle order will be unchanged. While in bowling, Josh Hazelwood may return in place of either Tye or Sams as both of them leaked a lot of runs and were unsuccessful. The two leggies Zampa and Swepson have performed superbly and is the only major positive for Australia till now in this series. There will be hopes from Maxwell too as he has been silent in the two matches and we can expect a monstrous knock from Big Show tomorrow, especially if Australia want to resist a whitewash. On the whole, India will back themselves to display yet another stupendous performance at SCG and end the white ball series on a high.


Ideal playing xi of both the teams- 

  • IND -  KL Rahul (wk) (vc), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Deepak Chahar, T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur.
  • AUS -  Aaron Finch (c),Matthew Wade (wk), Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Marcus Stoinis, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Swepson, Daniel Sams, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

  • WIN PREDICTOR

        IND 60% - AUS 40%

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...
