However, they will look to fine-tune their side against Australia, who lost their previous series against England.

AUS vs IND Dream11 match top picks

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

Dinesh Karthik (56 matches, 672 runs, SR: 146.41)

Dinesh Karthik has been brilliant in this format of late, often coming up with quick runs down the order. He has a strike rate of 146.41 in T20I cricket and is a brilliant player of pace. Given his form and experience, Karthik is a fine pick for your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

Steve Smith (62 matches, 1004 runs, Average: 25.74)

Steven Smith has seemingly been dropped from the T20I side with the emergence of Tim David. However, he is a decent player in this format, scoring over 1000 runs and striking at over 120. With Smith due for a big score, he is a must-have in your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Mitchell Marsh (3 matches vs ENG, 81 runs, Average: 27.00)

Mitchell Marsh was Australia's best batter in the series against England, scoring 81 runs at a strike rate of 144.64. Although he has not been bowling of late due to fitness concerns, Marsh's ability against pace and intent through the middle overs is key. Given his form, Marsh is a good selection for your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Mohammed Shami (17 matches, 18 wickets, Average: 31.56)

Mohammed Shami has replaced Jasprit Bumrah in the T20 World Cup squad and is likely to feature in this game. He has a decent record in T20I cricket, picking up 18 wickets in 17 matches. He had a good IPL campaign and should be a good pick for your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team given his style of bowling.

AUS vs IND match captain and vice-captain choices

David Warner

David Warner has been in decent form for Australia, scoring two fifties in his last five matches. He scored 77 runs in two completed matches against England, including a quick-fire fifty at the Optus Stadium. With Warner having a great record in Australian conditions, he is a viable captaincy pick for your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.

KL Rahul

KL Rahul scored a 55-ball 74 against Western Australia last week, albeit in a losing cause. However, Rahul has shown glimpses of form in recent matches and has an average of nearly 40 in this format. With Rahul keen to get some runs under his belt, he could be a good pick as captain in your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.

AUS vs IND match expert tips

Aaron Finch has a poor record against Bhuvneshwar Kumar in T20Is, scoring 55 runs in 48 balls and getting dismissed twice. With Finch not in the best of form and susceptible against swing, he could be a risky pick for your AUS vs IND Dream11 prediction team.
