IND vs AUS 14th ICC T20 World Cup Warm-up Match Preview:
In the 14th warm-up match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Warm-up Matches, 2021, India will lock horns with Australia at the ICC Academy Ground, Dubai on Wednesday.
As preparations for the World Cup are in full swing, both India and Australia have a formidable squad at their disposal. Both teams won their first warm-up fixtures on Monday and will be raring to get another win to keep the momentum going into the mega tournament.
India will be quite pleased with their performance against England. They cruised to a comfortable win, chasing down the target of 189 runs with an over to spare. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin were miserly in the first innings, putting a halt to the flow of runs. Mohammed Shami starred with a three-fer.
Rahul Chahar was expensive in his four overs but picked up a wicket. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a rare off-day, conceding 54 runs off his four overs without picking up a wicket. In their second warm-up game, the likes of Shardul Thakur, Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja might get an opportunity with the ball in hand.
Chasing the target, India initially got off to a tentative start as they were only able to score 15 runs off the first three overs. However, what followed was utter destruction, as KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan took the bowlers to the cleaners, finishing with 59 runs off the powerplay.
Rahul’s quickfire half century, along with Kishan’s blistering 46-ball 70 set the tone. Skipper Virat Kohli will look to find form in this game while Suryakumar Yadav might be back to playing at number four.
Vice-captain Rohit Sharma, after being rested in the first game, could be seen opening the innings. With the majority of the players being in red-hot form, there will certainly be a problem of plenty for the Indian team management.
Australia just about managed to edge past New Zealand in their first warm-up encounter. After opting to bowl first, they managed to restrict New Zealand to 158 runs. Kane Richardson was the pick of the bowlers while Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc were good as well.
David Warner’s poor run continued as he was dismissed for a golden duck. Handy contributions from the top and middle order saw them get within touching distance of the target. However, they lost wickets in clumps but found an unlikely hero in Josh Inglis, who smacked two boundaries to take them over the line.

The track at the ICC Academy Ground has plenty on offer for the batsmen. The ball comes onto the bat nicely and with short boundaries, the side batting first will definitely be targeting a score upwards of the 195-run mark.

Top Picks for IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Cricket Tips:
IND
Rishabh Pant finished the game for India against England. He batted fearlessly and scored 29* runs from 14 deliveries.
Mohammad Shami looked lethal with the ball for India in the warm-up game against England. He picked three crucial wickets for the side. The pacer can be a good pick for this match.
Ishan Kishan looked in good form in the first practice match against England. He played splendid innings of 70 runs. He can be a good player to bank on for this match.
Rohit Sharma, who was rested in the last warm-up game against England, is likely to feature in this match. He is a great timer of the ball, and it will be interesting in what position he will play in this game.
We didn’t see Ravindra Jadeja on the field as well against England the other day. He is a tremendous all-rounder, and is likely to feature in this match.
Varun Chakravarthy might get a chance in this match, since he was rested in the last game against England. Not many batters in the world have picked his variations properly and he will be a good budget pick for your fantasy teams.
AUS
David Warner was pretty unlucky in the last match against New Zealand as he was dismissed by a stunning one-handed catch from Martin Guptill. The 34-year-old batter is really hungry for runs and we can expect him to do well in this match.
Ashton Agar was excellent with both bat and ball in the last warm-up against New Zealand. He picked up a wicket, and later on, scored 23 runs from 18 deliveries.
Kane Richardson clinched three wickets in the previous warm-up match against New Zealand. He will look forward to taking the momentum further for the side. He can be the other good pick for this game.
Australian vice-captain, Pat Cummins didn’t feature in the last match against New Zealand. He is a top-class bowler and can cause damage with his raw pace.
