Australia vs India Team Preview & Squads
Australia
Mitchell Marsh continues to lead from the front with his assertive approach, both with bat and voice. His ability to dominate the power play and inspire his side under pressure has stood out. As captain, he has emphasized aggression balanced by discipline, a classic Australian blend.
The AUS batting order looks stacked, with Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Tim David, and Glenn Maxwell offering firepower throughout. The inclusion of Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Short ensures depth till number seven.
Australia’s bowling attack combines pace and craft. Nathan Ellis and Sean Abbott bring accuracy and variation, while Adam Zampa remains the key in the middle overs. The presence of Mahli Beardman and Xavier Bartlett adds youthful pace and energy that complements the experienced heads perfectly.
In the second T20I at Melbourne, India were bundled out for just 125, unable to cope with AUS disciplined bowling. Nathan Ellis and Sean Abbott shared the early breakthroughs.

India
Suryakumar Yadav, known for his fearless innovation, leads IND with tactical unpredictability. His flair with the bat mirrors his aggressive captaincy, though his decision-making under pressure has been tested.
IND batting lineup is loaded with stroke-makers like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, and Tilak Varma, all capable of explosive starts. The middle order, featuring Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson, offers finishing ability but needs better situational awareness.
With Jasprit Bumrah leading the pace unit, India’s bowling remains potent in both powerplay and death overs. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel will aim to control the middle overs with guile and variation. Support from Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar provides versatility, ensuring India can adapt to conditions quickly.
India’s innings never really took off in Melbourne as they were restricted to 125. The top order struggled against the Australian seamers, and despite brief resistance from Rinku Singh, the collapse continued. Their bowlers fought back initially but lacked penetration. Australia’s chase was brisk, sealing victory in 13.2 overs with 4 wickets to spare.
