Players to Watch
Dinesh Karthik is an excellent wicketkeeper and a good batsman, Jasprit Bumrah could end up being one of the best death bowlers in world cricket and youngsters such as Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Kuldeep Yadav have time on their side. This series should provide some strong tests for them. The Australians will look at this series as a perfect opportunity to test out their bench strength and try new combinations ahead of ICC World T20 2020. As always, their batting order will be led by David Warner and Aaron Finch while Marcus Stoinis (if fit) may be in contention to open the innings with Warner. Mitchell Starc will lead the bowling attack with Kane Richardson or Andrew Tye supporting him. Pat Cummins, Jason Behrendorff, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa, and Billy Stanlake are all likely to get a game if they are fit.
Fixtures and venues
The first clash will be held at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, and will start on February 24. The series will wrap up on March 18 with a game at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi. The men’s teams will be vying for six points while both sides are vying for two points respectively. A thrilling spectacle awaits cricket fans in India as they gear up to see Indian Premier League (IPL) stars of 2019 battle against international powerhouses.
