Australia vs India 3rd T20I fantasy 11 predictions: Top Dream11 picks

India and Australia will lock horns during the third Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney on Tuesday. The visiting side has already gained an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the ongoing three-match series.

If the ‘Men in Blue’ emerge victorious in this clash, they won’t only clean sweep the T20Is but will also surpass the Aussies for the second spot in the ICC T20I team rankings. The game will kickstart at 1:40 PM (IST) onwards on December 8, 2020. Let’s look at our fantasy 11 predictions for this clash and here are top picks for Australia vs India.

Team Preview

Australia

The Australian team couldn’t replicate their One Day International (ODI) performance in the T20Is. After winning the 50-over cricket series 2-1, the kangaroos were expected to have a similar run in the shortest format as well. However, constant injuries to players kept them on backfoot against Virat Kohli and co.

Team Australia is expected to play with the same playing XI as there are not many reserve players left with them. Skipper Aaron Finch’s absence would continue to be a massive blow for the home side.

India

After losing two back-to-back one-sided clashes in the opening two matches of the tour, no one expected India to bounce back with this intensity. Virat Kohli’s men now have three consecutive wins in their kitty against Australia. The victory in the last ODI match set the momentum for them for the shortest format.

Hardik Pandya emerged as the biggest positive for team India during this entire limited-over series. His maturity and game-sense have turned him into a genuine match-winner. Coming to the lineup, India would also take the field with the same playing XI just like their opponents.
