Australia vs India T20 Series 2025: Live Updates and Key Moments
8 months agoUS
The first T20 international between Australia and India is underway at Manuka Oval in Canberra. This five-match series is a key preparation for both teams ahead of the next T20 World Cup. Australia and India now have an eye on the next edition of the 20-over showpiece event starting in February next year with this the first of five T20s in the series between the powerhouse sides. The tourists will be bolstered by the addition to the squad of Jasprit Bumrah, who terrorised Australia in the Test series last summer, while the hosts boast a strong batting lineup.

In-Depth Analysis
The match started at 7:15pm AEDT. India has a strong record against Australia in T20s, with seven wins in their past eight meetings. In the first over, Abhishek Sharma charged down the pitch against Josh Hazlewood, who adjusted quickly. Despite a delay due to a bright light, Abhishek managed to score the first boundary. Xavier Bartlett bowled the second over, facing an aggressive Abhishek Sharma who continued to find the rope. India have a much more ominous record against Australia in T20s with seven wins in their past eight meetings in the format stretching back three years. The most recent of those losses might still sting Australia as India knocked them out of the T20 World Cup last year.
