Key Players for India

Gurkeerat Singh Mann: He is currently leading the run-scoring charts with 119 runs in two matches and India Champions would want him to continue his purple patch with the bat against table-toppers Australia who have regained momentum in the tournament.

Yuvraj Singh: The legendary all-rounder loved batting against Australia during his international cricket days. He will look to roll back years to replicate a special knock from the past to haunt the Aussies once again.

Key Players for Australia

Aaron Finch: The World Cup-winning captain looked in good touch in the last two matches for Australia. He has scored 117 runs in 2 matches at a strike rate of 180.00. If he gets set in the middle, then it would be difficult for the Indian batters to stop him from hitting boundaries.

Brett Lee: The veteran pacer has been leading from the front and claimed seven wickets in 3 matches. He has a rich experience of playing against some of the Indian Champions players in the past which will also come handy in the game.

Team Head to Head

It will be the first time the India Champions and Australia Champions will face each other in the tournament's inaugural season.

Venue and Pitch

The County Ground, Northampton, has hosted 8 T20I matches so far and it has favoured the team which has bat first on the surface. All eight matches have been won by the team batting first at this venue. The average score batting first in Northampton is 140 while the average score chasing is 88, suggesting it is a good pitch for the bowlers.

MATCH PREDICTION

It is going to be a fifty-fifty contest where the toss will play a crucial role in the result.
