India vs Australia T20I series, Preview: Full schedule, head-to-head stats and more
India vs Australia
After winning the ODI series 2-1, Australia will take on India in a three-match T20I series starting December 4 (Friday) at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
The Virat Kohli-led India will have some fresh faces in the squad when it comes to the shortest format of the game and will look to enter the series by winning the T20Is. Whereas, Australia would look to continue their winning run and bag the T20I series after the ODI matches.
Australia, the current world number 2 in T20Is, have looked dominating but will be without the services of talismanic opener David Warner, who is out with a groin injury.
Even the leading Aussie pacers are expected to get some rest in a bid to be fresh for the gruelling four-match Test series, starting from December 17.

India, on the other hand, would look to end the white-ball series with a high. Besides the final ODI, the Indian team was outplayed by Australia in all departments of the game and the Men in Blue would look to rectify their mistakes and get back to business.
