As predicted, the first match was disrupted by rain, and no result was possible.

However what we did see is that Australia is still a formidable force in this form of the game. Taking there recent form into account, I will have to side with them - PROVIDED THEY BAT FIRST.

I think any team chasing in series is going to be under pressure, so if the Indians are batting first, I will keep my hard erned in my pocket.

However, if the Australians do bat first, I think they are a very good bet to win.
