Ind vs Aus T20 Preview: India Take on Aussies Oldies at Fortress

India and Australia are tied with 3 wins each in the last 6 T20s they have played against each other. They have met twice at World Cup, and won a match each. India won the first two games, including the only T20 game they played at home, but after that tasted three consecutive defeats, and could draw level when these two teams last met at MCG in 2012. While Indian captain remains unchanged, Australia fields Bailey as 4th captain, after Gilchrist, Ponting and Clarke.
