Days after India and Australia faced off in the ICC World Cup 2023 final, the archrivals will clash again on November 23. However, this time, the format is different. The first T20 match between the two will be played at the Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The match starts at 7 PM.
Suryakumar Yadav, after a not-so-impressive World Cup campaign, will lead India against the Aussies. He is India’s fourth T20 captain this year, followed by Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Matthew Wade will captain Australia. Unlike Surya, he’s already led his team in the T20 format.
India vs Australia head-to-head records
India and Australia have played 26 T20s so far. India have won 15 of those and Australia 10. There was one match that did not produce any results. In the last 5 T20 matches between these teams, India have won 3 and Australia 2.

As per CricTracker, whoever chases the score will end up winning the match. MyKhel, too, says that Australia are likely to win and take a lead in the T20 series. We believe it’s a different India squad. Barring a couple, no other player has the baggage of the final loss in their mind. India will take advantage of the home conditions and win.
