India will play the second match of the tri-series against Sri Lanka tomorrow at Perth. Indian cricket team lost the first match to the hosts Australia by some 60 odd runs. Indian team will be facing Sri Lanka first time after they played each other in the world cup 2010 final, which India won. However Indian team has been on a depletion road after the world cup victory and same is the story with Sri Lankan cricket team as well. Now let’s see which of the two struggling world cup finalists will the match tomorrow.
One another important fact I’d like to mention is that since the world cup Virendar Sehwag and M.S. Dhoni have never featured together in an one day international match. This is something strange and interesting as well; let us see if Sehwag will play in tomorrow’s match against Sri Lanka and if the captain of the team will also play.
Both the teams need to take this series seriously and a chance for the youngsters to experience the nature of play in Australia as it’s the co-host along with New Zealand for the next world cup. I wish I’ll get a chance to see both the countries in the Finals of ICC world cup 2015 also.

From Test to T20 Mode – India Vs Australia First T20
Test Whitewash: Though Indian batsmen have failed individually and as a unit to perform wll in the test series, they still got a chance to impress the fans, media and the selectors by playing well in the two T20 (Twenty twenty matches) against Australia. Please don’t forget that the T20’s will be followed by ODI tri –series that will include Sri Lanka as a third team.
The T20 Mode: The first T20 match between both the teams will be played tomorrow at Sydney. If we take a look at the team Aussies are strong on confidence after defeating India 4-0 whereas Indian team looks nowhere to the International standards. But in shorter forms of the game Indian cricket team can be lethal thus we can hope for a better performance from Indian players.
Indian and Australia T20 Teams: For Australia 40 years old brad hogg makes a comeback in T20 team after nearly 4 years. This comeback has been results of his strong performance in the Australian IPL i.e. Big Bash League. Fast bowler James Faulkner may mark his T20 debut if selected in playing eleven. For India it can be chance of inexperienced Rahul Sharma and Manoj Tiwary to play and offer their candidacy for the T20 world cup to be played in Sri Lanka in September this year. Suresh Raina will be back in the shorter version of the game. Aussies also got a new captain for the T20s
Below are the most probable playing eleven for both the teams for the first Twenty twenty match:
India: Vinay Kumar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni (capt, wk), Irfan Pathan, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Virat Kohli
Australia: David Hussey, George Bailey (capt), Travis Birt, Matthew Wade (wk), Brett Lee, James Faulkner, David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Aaron Finch, Daniel Christian, Brad Hogg
So now be prepared to switch from test match to the T20 mode of cricket.
