The first T20I of the India vs Australia series will take place on October 29 at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. After defeating India in the ODI series, home team Australia will be keen to win the T20I series and gain momentum in the shortest format ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Although the Aussies have the home advantage, they will not start as the favorites to win against India. The biggest reason behind it is the momentum which the Indian T20I team has by their side. India won the T20 World Cup last year, and after that, they have won T20I series against Sri Lanka, South Africa and England, followed by a memorable Asia Cup triumph.
The upcoming five-match series between India and Australia should be a blockbuster. Big names like Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and Tim David will be in action during the India vs Australia T20I series.
On that note, here's a look at some key things to note before the first match begins.

A low-scoring surface is likely to be on offer at the Manuka Oval. The wet outfield can make things further difficult for the batters. There should be decent pace and bounce for the fast bowlers and also slow spin on offer for the spinners.
