The encounter against Australia will once again centre on India’s death-over bowling. India didn't do much better in the last few overs against Western Australia, allowing them to score 41 runs in just five overs. In the second warm-up match, Ravichandran Ashwin excelled, taking three wickets. The warm-up match versus Australia will likely feature the comeback of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Australia recently lost a T20 series against England 2-0, with the third T20I being rained out. The squad seems to be struggling at the moment with their batting performance. India's 2-1 victory over Australia in a bilateral T20I series earlier in 2022 should boost morale greatly for the visitors.
After suffering a neck injury in the second T20I against England, David Warner may not be able to participate in the warm-up match against India. He should be ready for Australia's second warm-up match against New Zealand, according to Australian captain Aaron Finch. Finch earlier stated that he wanted to give his team's players enough rest prior to the start of the Super 12 matches.
