India vs Australia 1st T20I Match Prediction: IND vs AUS who will win

India have many changes for the upcoming T20 matches against Australia. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and a few other senior players won't be playing, and some new young faces are set to embark themselves in the international arena again. Suryakumar Yadav is set to lead the side fresh from his World Cup defeat. He will be eager to settle the score against the Aussies in the shortest format of the game, which has been his forte in his international career.

Australia have kept seven of their World Cup 2023 squads for the T20I series. Matthew Wade is set to lead the Aussies in this series and they have added Tanveer Sangha to the squad. Aussies will be buoyant from their World Cup triumph and looking forward to continuing their winning run.

But there will be massive support for the Indian team in the upcoming series and the onus will be on the home side to shrug off their World Cup defeat and come back to winning terms. It promises to be an interesting battle as the young players of the Indian team will have to tackle a strong Australian unit. But our prediction tilts the match in favour of the Indian team and it looks like SKY will start this series with a win.
