There are 5 Reasons Why You Must Watch India Vs Australia World T20 Match Today


Not that you really need too many reasons to watch an India vs Australia match, but in case you do need some extra motivation, we thought we'd remind you of five reasons to watch this World T20 match on Sunday evening. Really, nothing does, not even form Both teams have form charts which read—WWLWW. That's not a lie, that's true. India and Australia come into this match as equals. And guess what, both teams have that 'L' in their chart due to one team: New Zealand. Wow.



MS Dhoni

The man of the moment, really. More than even Virat Kohli, who hardly sees any time away from the spotlight. Dhoni's tactics will be put to the test against Australia big time and against a smart skipper like Steven Smith, who hasn't got many things wrong despite a lot of chopping and changing in the squad (the Aussies have played 14 of their 15-member squad).

Dhoni will need to be extra smart this time because tell you what, despite the heroics against Bangladesh, there's no doubt India's neighbours made some suicidal decisions. The Aussies won't.

Mohali pitch and record

Both teams have played just one T20I at the PCA Stadium in Mohali and just like everything else, their record here is the same as well—won. India last played here in 2009 though, when Sanath Jayasuriya was still in Sri Lanka's T20 side (a much younger Ashish Nehra also played this game). Virender Sehwag smacked 64 off 36 balls on that occasion, leading India to a 6-wicket win.

The Aussies won very recently, against Pakistan on 25 March. Smith scored 61 from 43 in a 21-run win. Mohali will provide turn and hopefully some help to the pacers as well. But expect runs anyway. High-scoring encounters are not anything new here—a combined 1,120 runs have been scored in three T20Is.
