Australia will lock horns with Team India in the first of the three-match T20I series. The first T20I will go all guns blazing tonight at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali.
Australia’s T20I captain Aaron Finch won the toss and invited Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team to bat first. Indians should look to add more runs on the board since it is a pretty good batting track. As a result, we can expect a lot of runs.
Moreover, we can expect a cracker of a contest this time. The T20I opener is certain to keep the fans at the edge of their seats. We can expect Rohit Sharma and Co to post somewhere around 190.
On the other side of the coin, Australia certainly have the upper hand as they chose to bowl first. The dew factor could be the key as they have all the ingredients in their arsenal to chase down the target.
Indian bowlers will have to be at their imperious best to outsmart Aussies in the first game.
Tim David makes his T20I debut for Australia against India
Tim David, the Singaporean-born Australian cricketer will make his T20I debut for Australia in the first game against India. He has been one of the most-talked about cricketers of late. David is known for his sheer ability to strike the balls with force. We can expect him to launch his fearless batting approach straightaway in the first game.
Tim David has already played 14 Twenty20 Internationals. He aggregated 558 runs at an average of 46.5. The 26-year-old registered his personal best score of 92. Moreover, he has slammed as many as four half-centuries to his name.
The talking point of his batting approach is that he scores runs at the rate of knots. More importantly, he has an exceptional strike-rate of 158.5 in T20Is and could be a game-changer for the Aussies.
