AUS vs IND Match Prediction - Oct 17, 2022

Tournament: ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches, 2022.

Date: October 17, 2022

Format: T20

Venue: The Gabba, Brisbane, Australia.

Time: 04:00

Jasprit Bumrah will be unavailable for the T20 World Cup for India. He will be replaced by another seasoned fast bowler Mohammad Shami. The veteran speedster had earlier missed a few series at home while he was recovering from the covid. This warm-up match will be critical for the Indian contingent as they will be looking to assess the fitness of Mohammad Shami before the big game on October 23 against Pakistan. Australia was 0-2 down against the English cricket team in the recent series at home. They also found themselves to be in a spot of bother before the last game again. 

India might be the sort of opposition they would be looking to win against to try and gain some confidence for the World Cup. Rushabh Pant appeared to be completely out of touch during the Asia Cup and also in the warm-up game against Western Australia. But he has done well at the Gabba and he will be keen to play a significant knock for his team again. Strong opposition and a terrific pitch make for a great opportunity for both these teams to assess their team combinations before the actual Super 12 round gets off.

AUS vs IND Team Previews

Australia

The Aussie side had to endure some hurtful losses in recent times. The T20I world cup defending champions lost their away series against Indians and this was followed by another loss against the English outfit. It was a bit expected though. They did not have to face strong opposition after their world cup win in 2021 and were a bit rusty as a team. Another growing concern for the Australian camp is the batting form of Glen Maxwell. In the last game against England, he opened the innings for Australia in a T20I match against England.

Hosts Australia had to get off to a good start as they were chasing a solid target of 113 runs from 13 overs. This was the reason for the promotion of Glen Maxwell. But Australians quickly lost Marsh, Finch, and Maxwell within the space of 3 overs and were reduced to 17 for 3. This game against India will allow another opportunity for Glen Maxwell to play in the middle order and carry out his usual game of playing strokes freely to find a rhythm. Other Australian cricketers that are currently in good form are Mitchell Marsh and Stoinis. These two all-rounders are critical for the Aussie middle order.

Matthew Wade and Tim David will in all probability continue to be the finishers for Australia. Their skills are also likely to be tested as Australia takes on the world's number-one T20I team. The Australian fast bowling attack will be led by Hazelwood and Pat Cummins. The batting all-rounders Maxwell and Stoinis will also play a crucial role with the ball for Australia. although Marsh has not bowled too much recently, he can be an impact bowler and the skipper Finch can rely on him when needed. You can find a great deal of variety in the bowling attack and depth in the batting order.

Australia Playing 11

Ashton Agar, Aaron Finch, Adam Zampa, David Warner, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Josh Hazlewood, Kane Richardson, Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, Tim David.


India

India's numero uno opening batter Rohit Sharma did not bat in the last match against Western Australia. You can expect him to put on the pads to open the innings for India together with K L Rahul at The Gabba ground. Although K L Rahul scored 74 runs in the last match in 55 balls, he has a batting style that allows him to change gears during the end of the innings. This style might get India into trouble, especially in the bigger games. Rohit Sharma doesn't put as much value on his wicket as Kl Rahul or Virat Kohli does. The hitman looks to attack the bowlers right from the outset and plays his natural brand of cricket to make a positive impact on the Indian innings.

Virat Kohli is looking good with his form in the recent past and he is also scoring runs with a decent strike rate. This is a huge positive for the Indian team. This together with the rise of Suryakumar Yadav as India's new run machine augurs well for India. The middle-order right-handed batter from India is the number two batsman in the world in T20I cricket. He is also the only Indian cricketer to feature among the top 10 of the world T20I ranking. Mohammad Shami played his last T20I game against Namibia in 2021 November. He will take the place of Jasprit Bumrah in the Indian line-up.

There is a backup player with the Indian cricket team that will travel to Australia for the world cup and is Mohammad Siraj. Mohammad Shami has not played T20I cricket for some time. This warm-up game will be an excellent opportunity for the team management to assess the selection of Shami over Siraj and Chahar. The main bowling threat for India remains Bhuvneshwar Kumar in this ICC Men's T20I Cup. He has been the top wicket-taker for India over the last year with 35 wickets from 27 games at a decent average of 18.

India Playing 11

Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Harshal Patel, Lokesh Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, RR Pant, Mohammed Shami, Suryakumar Yadav, V Kohli, YS Chahal.

AUS vs IND Toss Prediction

Although just two out of four T20 internationals played at The Gabba have had a result in favor of the side that batted second, the record at the venue for the domestic circuit is slightly different. Teams batting second have won 26 games out of the 50 played on the ground. Now, both India and Australia are packed with big-hitting finishers in their batting line-up. As the pitch will hold well throughout the match you can expect the skipper that wins the toss to prefer chasing a target at the venue.

Pitch and Conditions

This wicket provides a good carry and bounce to the quick bowlers. But this true bounce also helps the batters as it allows them to play their shots naturally and confidently. But rain is expected during the game in Brisbane and we can get temperatures in the region of 23 degrees Celsius. The Gabba venue in Brisbane is the host to this game between two of the biggest teams in world cricket today. An average first innings total at this venue is 165 runs. But on 23 occasions out of the 50 games played here at The Gabba in the BBL, teams have succeeded in chasing a score in the excess of 170 runs.

AUS vs IND Betting Tips

Both these sides are two of the strongest contenders for the T20I world cup title. Although several pundits have hinted not to consider India as the favorite to win the title, they remain a strong force. They are the number one side in the world for a reason and will remain a force to reckon with in the tournament. Taking into consideration the current form of these two teams, India will start as the favorite to win this practice match. But there is nothing much in it though because Australia is playing at home and can easily turn the tables on India. We will bet with the hosts to win this game.
