Adelaide: Australia’s T20 captain Aaron Finch elected to chase in the first Twenty20 international at Adelaide Oval. Both teams named debutants, with batsman Travis Head included for his first match for Australia and India picking allrounder Hardik Pandya and fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for their debuts.
There were also significant returns for both sides, with Australia choosing express bowler Shaun Tait for his first international match since the 2011 World Cup and allrounder Shane Watson for his first international game of the summer.
For India, fast bowler Ashish Nehra was, like Tait, named for his first international since the 2011 World Cup, while batsman Yuvraj Singh also returned having not played for India since the 2014 World Twenty20.
