On October 30, 2025, India and Australia are set to face off in the first T20 International (T20I) of a five-match series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The hosts, Australia, will be missing the services of Adam Zampa, who is currently with his wife for the birth of their child.
Despite Zampa's absence, Australia will be looking to continue their dominance at home and start the T20I series on a strong note. On the other hand, the visiting Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, will be aiming to bounce back after their recent ODI series victory and claim an early advantage in the T20I contest.
All of India's players are fit and available for the series, which should give them a boost as they seek to establish their superiority in the shortest format of the game. The stage is set for an exciting clash between the two cricketing giants, with both teams eager to gain the upper hand in the series.
