Unlike other series, where the visitors take time to get acclimatise to the host country's peculiar climatic environment, Australia will have quite a comfortable start as five of Australia's T20 squad were part of the Champions League final (Mitchell Johnson didn't play).
However, Australia's recent T20 results haven't been impressive, having lost 6 of their last 7 T20s. A win will give them a chance of starting the tour on a high, something they will need as they face a vastly experienced India ODI squad later on.
The likely opposing squads are as under for today's match:
India squad
MS Dhoni*†, R Ashwin, S Dhawan, RA Jadeja, V Kohli, B Kumar, A Mishra, Mohammed Shami, SK Raina, AT Rayudu, I Sharma, RG Sharma, JD Unadkat, R Vinay Kumar, Yuvraj Singh
Australia squad
GJ Bailey*, NM Coulter-Nile, XJ Doherty, JP Faulkner, AJ Finch, BJ Haddin†, MC Henriques, MG Johnson, CJ McKay, NJ Maddinson, GJ Maxwell, AC Voges, SR Watson
Umpires AK Chaudhary and C Shamsuddin
The match is scheduled to begin at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot, Oct 10, 2013 at 13:30 (GMT 0)
