Both teams hold position as the top ranked teams in the world and given that this match is the final practice before the T20 men’s world cup to follow in 2026, scales up the game. Australia feels confident heading into this series, having won 26 of their last 32 T20 internationals to date, and lost no bilateral series since early 2024. India are fresh from their Asia Cup title and all their t20 success prior to the world cup in 2024, with only three setbacks since, and of course being T20 WC champions. Their squad is a blend of mains T20 hitters such as Jasprit Bumrah when available and opponents such as Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh. The pitch sabre will be prepared in medium style, which should produce average scoring and favour pace attack ahead of spinners later in the game. The competitive ranges of totals lie between 140 to 160. Since the two teams are interested in setting up the mood of the series, there is a very action packed first round.
