India are all set to take on Australia in the first T20I of the five-match series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday, October 29. This will be a crucial match as the top two teams in the ICC T20I rankings take on each other, in what will act as a perfect preparation for both sides ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 in February. This is also the first time that India are playing a five-match T20I series in Australia. Suyakumar Yadav might face his trickiest test yet as a captain, as this is the first time he is leading the team in Australia. He has been excellent as captain so far, with 25 wins out of the 29 matches played under him. India are also coming on the back of some solid form, having won the Asia Cup 2025, without being beaten in a single game in the campaign.
