First T20| Australia put India to bat

Canberra, 29/10: Australian captain Mitchell March won the toss and put Suryakumar Yadav-led India to bat first in the opening match of the five-match T20 series at Canberra on Wednesday (October 29).

India have relied on their traditional strength in the shortest format by having all three spinners — Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav — in the playing XI with Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana leading the pace attack.
