India will be firm favourites against Australia in turmoil both on and off the field in the compelling rivalry’s latest battle which begins with a T20I series in Brisbane on Wednesday (November 21).
The touring side has won its previous seven T20I series dating back to November 2017, and their last defeat in the format came against the Windies in July last year.
Not to mention, on their previous tour of Australia, the Men in Blue won the T20I series 3-0 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. So, this time again, it will be a very difficult task for the Aussies to avoid a rare T20I series loss on home soil to the subcontinent superpower.
T20I series fixtures:
| Match | Venue | Date | Time (AEDT/IST) |
| Australia vs India 1st T20I | The Gabba | November 21 | 5:50 pm/ 1:20 pm |
| Australia vs India 2nd T20I | MCG | November 23 | 6:50 pm/ 1:20 pm |
| Australia vs India 3rd T20I | SCG | November 25 | 6:50 pm/ 1:20 pm |
