India and Australia will face each other in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali on Tuesday (September 20).

They defeated New Zealand in the recently completed ODI series as well. India, on the other hand, lost to Sri Lanka and Pakistan during the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup which resulted in an exit.
These two teams have played 23 matches against each other in this format so far where India won 13 matches while Australia managed to win 9 games. Another good series is anticipated here between these two sides.
The return of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel bodes well for India, but Australia are a force to be reckoned with. Despite missing key players in David Warner, Mitchell Starc, and Mitchell Marsh, the Aussies still boast a lot of firepower in all departments
