Despite scoring above 200 runs in 20 overs, India went on to lose the first game of the series against Australia. The bowling is simply put not up to the mark. Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is under the pump and not able to give his best with his line and lengths. Harshal Patel also conceded 22 runs in the 18th over which changed the game for Australia. Jasprit Bumrah is available for the second game which will boost India's chances in the second game. The men in blue need to massively improve the bowling to level up the series and gain some momentum for the world cup.
India Predicted Lineup
KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal

Australia had a perfect game against India. They were very efficient in their chase. The bowling was not up to the mark giving 200+ runs in 20 overs. Cameron Green rode his luck and set the premise for victory. Australia was exposed in a few areas but they were the stronger team overall on the day. The Men in yellow will be looking to go again and seal the series.
