India (Match Odds – 1.55):
Preview:
India will go full strength against Australia in preparation for the ICC World T20 2022, which will be held next month in Australia. With the return of Jaspreet Bumrah and Harshal Patel, skipper Rohit Sharma’s fast-bowling attack is now complete. Both Bumrah and Patel were unable to compete in the Asia Cup.
India will bat first with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Despite the fact that Virat Kohli scored a century while opening against Afghanistan, Sharma will continue to rely on Rahul, who also scored a half-century in the same game. In 19 games against Australia, Sharma’s average is less than 23. Rahul, on the other hand, averages 29.28 against Australia and has a strike rate of 129.74. Here’s some good news. Virat Kohli’s performance in the Aisa Cup brought the internet to a halt. In five matches, he scored 276 runs at an average of 92 and a strike rate of 147.59. His innings included two half-centuries and a century, which he had been missing for the previous two years. Suryakumar Yadav will continue to play at number four. Despite a dip in form in the Aisa Cup, he managed to score at a strike rate of 163.52.
India is still looking for the perfect middle-order solution. Hardik Pandya’s spot in the squad is secure, as he has 331 runs at a strike rate of 142 and 12 wickets with the ball. Because there are no left-handers in the top five, India has chosen Pant over Dinesh Karthik. This year, both have an ideal strike rate of 133, but Karthik’s innings came at crucial times in the game. They both have a poor record against Australia. Pant has 24 runs in four innings, while DK has 69 in five. Ravindra Jadeja’s injury has made room for Axar Patel and Ravi Ashwin in the team.
With Bumrah and Harshal Patel back in the attack, Bhuvi will have all the help he needs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 11 wickets in the Asia Cup and is also India’s leading wicket-taker this year, with 31 wickets in 22 games. Since last year, Bumrah hasn’t played many T20Is. However, his record against Australia (15 wickets in 11 games) and in India (economy of 6.4) demonstrate that he is capable of taking the lead.
Full Squad:
Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin, Deepak Chahar, Deepak Hooda, Umesh Yadav

Australia (Match Odds – 2.45):
Preview:
Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis will be absent for Australia. As replacements, Nathan Ellis, Daniel Sams, and Sean Abbott have been called up. Aaron Finch will bat first, followed by David Warner. This year, Aaron Finch is Australia’s leading run-scorer, while Warner has scored 140 runs in just three games. Glenn Maxwell at third will be a problem for India. Maxwell scored 169 runs in just two games in the most recent series against India in India, at a strike rate of 172.44. In both games, he went unbeaten, scoring a century and a half-century.
Steve Smith will have to justify his place on the team. However, his recent century after a two-year gap must have given him the confidence to go berserk against India. Tim David has finally been called up to the squad. David is an excellent middle-order power hitter. With a strike rate of more than 160, he has been absolutely fantastic in all T20 Leagues around the world. Josh Inglis will start over Matthew Wade.
Josh Hazelwood, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Elis will lead the bowling unit. With 14 wickets and an economy of less than 7, Hazelwood is Australia’s leading wicket-taker this season. Ellis had a strong season in both the T20 Blast and The Hundred. He also took four wickets in Australia’s lone T20I. As a specialist spinner, Adam Zampa will be an excellent choice.
Full Squad:
Aaron Finch(c), Matthew Wade(w), Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Cameron Green, Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Daniel Sams, Kane Richardson, Josh Inglis, Nathan Ellis

There will be no rain and the weather will be sunny and clear. The temperature will range between 25 and 33 degrees Celsius. The wind will be blowing at 6-7 km/h from the west. Throughout the game, the pitch favours batters. It is difficult to score runs in the first innings, but it becomes easier as the bowl comes easily on the bat without any help from the pitch.
India vs Australia Prediction
Since 2007, Australia has not lost a series in India. And they have been unbeaten since the World T20 last year. However, India has been given the Mohali pitch. They have won all three games played here, including one by six wickets against Australia. India’s victories have all come while trailing. To top it all off, the in-form GOAT Virat Kohli has 154 runs in two matches at a strike rate of 149.51. And he hasn’t even started on this pitch yet. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!
India is the favourite to beat Australia at the odds of 1.55.
