The 'Blue Brigade' are enjoying a 8-match winning streak in the shortest format of sport at the international level riding high on back to back series wins over Sri Lanka (2-0) and New Zealand (5-0) followed by their win against the 'Aussies' in the series opener at Canberra. Upbeat and high on confidence, the visiting Indian team will relish the opportunity of making it nine wins in a row when they play Australia at the SCG. India have won both their previous T20I encounters at the SCG, with their wins coming against hosts Australia.
