Who will win today match between India and Australia (5th T20I, Australia tour of India, 2023)?

India’s newcomers have proven to be consistent performers, adapting well to every kind of situation, and their recent successes indicate a team in good form with positive spirits.
Australia’s inexperience in Indian conditions, along with their weakness against spinners, gives India an additional advantage.
The Australian team, particularly their pacers, has struggled to find a comfortable rhythm against India’s batting lineup, which has cost them a lot of runs in the death overs.

Given the overall balance and recent performances, India seems to have the upper hand, making them the odds-on favorite to come out on top of Australia.

What are IND vs AUS Fantasy Tips?

Aaron Hardie bats at 4th and bowls crucial overs, making him captain or vice-captain could be the best decision.
Travis Head is having a terrific form against India and could be a multiplier pick for this game.
Shreyas Iyer has scored 148 runs with an average of 16.44 in his last ten T20I innings. Given his recent T20I form, he could be avoided.
