India Vs Australia 1st T20I Live Streaming: The reigning world champions will be back in action as India take on Australia in the opening game of the five-match T20I series on Wednesday (October 29). The Manuka Oval in Canberra will play host to the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian juggernaut as they resume their build-up towards the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in February-March. After dominating Bangladesh, South Africa and England in the previous season, India’s power-packed T20I side bossed the regional rivals, including arch-rivals Pakistan, during the Asia Cup 2025 in September and flexed their muscles by winning the competition undefeated in the UAE. Bigger grounds and high-pace venues of Australia present an entirely different challenge for Suryakumar’s men, who will be missing their premier allrounder Hardik Pandya due to injury and also have a cloud of uncertainty hanging over his backup Nitish Reddy. For Australia, the recent series victory over New Zealand showed their immense prowess with the bat. But the absence of spearhead Pat Cummins and now-retired Mitchell Starc will continue to cause a few concerns in the bowling department as they bank heavily on Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa to try and keep the lengthy and aggressive Indian batting line-up quiet.
