The two teams will be resuming their T20I rivalry less than a couple of years after they last faced each other in Sydney. As far as playing in India is concerned, the last India-Australia T20I had been played in Bengaluru over three and a half years ago.
Both the teams have been practicing at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium for a few days now. With neither of them confirming their Playing XI on the eve of the match, the exact combinations will be revealed at the toss tomorrow.
