India vs Australia T20 series complete schedule, match timings, venues: The upcoming T20I series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS T20 series 2023), following the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, is set to unfold across five thrilling T20 matches. Ahead of IND-AUS T20 series, here's a comprehensive breakdown of the schedule, including match fixtures, timings, and venues. Having clashed in the shortest format 26 times previously, India hold an advantage with 15 victories compared to Australia's 10.
While Australia toured India earlier this year for various contests, including IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy and IND vs AUS ODI series, T20Is were omitted from their matchups. The last T20I series between India and Australia occurred just before the 2022 T20 World Cup, where India secured a 2-1 win.
Scheduled to commence merely four days post the 2023 ODI World Cup final, India vs Australia five-match T20 series will span until December 3. Initially slated for Hyderabad, the venue for the fifth match has been shifted to Bengaluru.
Australia have already unveiled their squad for the series, while India's lineup is yet to be confirmed. Following ODI World Cup 2023's culmination, star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are expected to be granted a well-deserved rest. In their absence, a younger team with fresh faces is expected to square off against Australia in the IND vs AUS T20 series. Hardik Pandya, still on the road to recovery after suffering an ankle injury during the IND vs BAN ODI World Cup match, is expected to miss the series.
