The match will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time on Tuesday (September 20) at the Indrajit Singh Bindra Stadium in Punjab.

Speaking to the media before taking the field, India captain Rohit Sharma referred to his failure in the Asia Cup and said, “You also need the help of luck to do well in a big tournament. Maybe it’s 5 or 10 percent. Toss or two runs or out. There’s a lot beyond on-field cricket. ’

But is fate turning its back on Team India? At least that’s what happened in the Asia Cup. The Indian captain is also praying for the return of luck with the cricket on the field due to continuous failures. Whose leadership hangs under the thorny compass in the failure of the continental tournament?

However, the series against Aziz can be coated to some extent on that wound. The first of the three-match T20 is in Mohali, the lucky venue. The management is not worried about the XI. However, there are indications of changes in multiple slots. Rohit kept it a mystery whether Virat will play at number three or opening position.

Rohit told the media, “Look, I have discussed Virat with coach Rahul Dravid. He will open in some matches and will be backed up as the third opener. Lokesh and I will open in most of the matches. Australia and then we will fix our line-up for the series against South Africa. But this series is more important. If you do well, the tasks ahead will be easier. ’

On the other hand, Australia’s record of T20 on Indian soil is very rich. There are three wins in 7 matches. Smith will bat at number three in the absence of Mitchell Marsh. Warner Stoinis’ injury has left Aaron Finch worried about his forehead. The series against India is therefore to fix their combination for The Aussies.

Aaron Finch said, “We know about the Mohali wicket. There is an unexpected bounce here. We don’t have a lot of players in the top order. It’s not easy to play against India. But if we do well here, it will help us a lot in preparing for the World Cup. ’

So far, India and Australia have faced 23 times in T20. Where Australia has won 9 times against India’s 13 wins. And as a result of the series, India has won 4 times and Aziz has won 2 times.
