India Vs Australia LIVE Score
Will there be a change today when these two cricket giants clash? The conditions certainly favour the Indians as they have played all their matches in Dubai while this will be the first match for Australia on the pitch. More so, Australia are not the strongest in the competition and are missing a few key players, especially gun bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. This seems India's best chance of avenging previous defeats to Australia.

India vs Australia Pitch Report
The pitch at the Dubai International Stadium is not the easiest to bat. While the matches in Pakistan have seen scores of 300 being posted and chased, the matches in Dubai have been low scoring affairs. New Zealand in the last league game against India failed to chase 250. This is because the pitch in Dubai is on the slower side and ball does not come on nicely. There is turn on offer for the spinners as well so batters need to be perfect in their approach to score big.
