One day series between India and Australia starts from tomorrow. Experts have predicted Indian as favorite before the tour and their performance in the only T20, which was played on 10 Oct, proved the experts right. India's might batting performance won them the game on a flat, batting friendly pitch of Rajkot.
Despite a score of 201/7, Australia hadn't able to restricted Indian
batsman to reached the target and that happened because of the Yuvraj Singh (77), who play the key role in India's 6 wicket victory over Australia.
Although Australia had lost that match but their batting was a clear indication for Indian spinner, R Ashwin and R Jadeja, that Aussies will not play them in the way they played them in test series where India beat them by 4-0. In the manner in which Australian openers Aaron Finch (89) and Debutant Nic Maddinson (34) were played in power play is also a worry for Indian captain MS Dhoni and bowlers. Failure of Dhoni's main bowler R Ashwin would be the serious concern for captain too. so India will need to put lot of effort to rectify errors in bowling and also in fielding, where we saw few fumbles too.
But 50 overs game is completely different from 20 overs game and if India wants to win the series they will need to play seriously good cricket. Though that is totally different and young Aussie side but still they have some players likes of Shane Watson and Brad Haddin to ruffle the Indian 's feather.
This series is not just a another bilateral series between the two nations. This series will decide who will be the number ONE team in ICC RANKING. At present India is the number one team in ICC RANKING with 123 rating and Australia follow them with 115. but if Australia will win this series by 6-1 then they will replace India at top rank.
Match will be starts from 2.30pm IST on 13 Oct.
Australian Squad: George Bailey (Captain), Shane Watson, Brad
Haddin, Aaron Finch, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Xavier Doherty, James Faulkner,
Callum Ferguson, Moises Henriques, Phil Hughes, Mitchell Johnson, Glenn
Maxwell, Clint McKay, Adam Voges.
