India vs Australia Highlights, T20 World Cup 2021 Warm-up Game: Rohit, Surya guide India to 9-wicket win over Australia

TOSS - Australia have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first.

Unlike India, the Australian bowlers performed much better but it was their batting that let them down. Kane Richardson and Adam Zampa were the shining light with the ball. The form of David Warner remains to be a huge question mark and apart from him all the batters got starts and got into the twenties before throwing their wickets away. If Finch and Warner can get going in this match then the Aussies will look like a very well balanced team heading into the main draw of the tournament. Who needs this win more, India or Australia? Who will head into the tournament with sky-high confidence? We'll find out soon. The toss and team news in a bit.

... WARM UP TIME ...

Hello and welcome to another round of warm-up matches before the start of the T20 World Cup. In today's match, two stalwarts of cricket go head-to-head as India take on Australia. Both teams had winning starts but the wins themselves came in contrasting fashions. India chased down a mammoth total with the utmost ease against England, whereas the tailenders were the saving grace for Australia against neighbours New Zealand. Both teams will be pumped up for today's match and even if it's just a warm-up match, we expect a lot of fireworks today from both these sides.

The openers for India, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul were on song in the first match as both of them brought up quickfire half-centuries. The middle order too showed some promise. Mohammad Shami was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 3 wickets but Bhuvneshwar Kumar really struggled and that is a concerning factor for India. The Indians will be hoping to improve their bowling performance on the whole and go into the tournament with another win.
