The home team won the ODI series 2-1 and in the 1st T20I at Manuka Oval, there was so much of drama. Firstly, it was a lower scoring contest as compared to the 3 ODIs we saw prior to the shorter format. Secondly, India got on a ‘like-for’like’ concussion substitute who went on to become the match winner, which ruffled a few feathers in the home camp. Regardless, the visitors leads the 3-match series 1-0 right now.
What’s better is that India now has an 8-match winning streak in T20Is, a record for them as well. As for Australia, they’ll be eager to hit back hard in this do or die game. Their main forte was batting in the ODIs and the batting itself couldn’t stand the Indian spinners in the first T20, so pick players accordingly.

Australia
If there’s any who you can term as consistent in this series of games so far, it’s Australia captain Aaron Finch. He had a mediocre IPL 2020 for RCB but even there, he got a start in every game and it’s been 10+ games since he last got a single digit score, while 35 here in the 1st T20 was his lowest score in 4 games vs India. However, if Finch isn’t declared fit, we think D’Arcy Short will be given another go while Australia also drafted Nathan Lyon in to the squad for the rest of the series.
In the spin department though, Adam Zampa’s place in the side is 100% secure with 7 wickets in 3 ODIs and then following it up with a wicket in the 1st T20 as well. In the all-round department, there are plenty of players worth considering but none more than the Big Show Glenn Maxwell who got only 2 in the last game but he scored 197 runs in 3 ODIs and this is the format he cherishes the most – T20s!
India
The captain Virat Kohli was dismissed cheaply in the first game of the series but if you remember clearly, he got a low score in the 1st ODI as well, which he followed up with 2 fifties. He loves this ground as he’s got 2 fifties in 2 T20Is here as well, averaging 111. However, I’d be more interested in seeing someone like Manish Pandey scoring the big runs especially because he always gets the raw deal in the middle order and you got to end up feeling for him.

Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out for the rest of the series and while Yuzvendra Chahal looks like the likely replacement, it could mean India playing a bowling-heavy team. We expect Boom Boom to come in, in place of Shami or Deepak Chahar, so surely pick Jasprit Bumrah in your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team. On T20I debut, T Natarajan picked a 3-fer and is likely to keep his place!
