Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM IST. The Australian T20 team enters this series with momentum, having secured a convincing 3-0 series win against South Africa in August-September 2023. The Aussies aim to conclude their stint in India by clinching the T20 trophy, building on their earlier triumph in the ODI World Cup 2023.

India enter the upcoming match on the back of a six-wicket defeat to Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023 final.

Veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has congratulated Suryakumar Yadav after the star batter was named captain of India for the upcoming T20I series against Australia, starting on Thursday, November 23. Suryakumar will lead the team in the absence of regular captain Rohit Sharma, who has been rested India's World Cup final defeat to Australia, and vice-captain Hardik Pandya, who is out of action due to an injury. The likes of Rohit, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, among others have all been rested for the five-match series.
Australia spinner Adam Zampa has taken a jibe at former captain Michael Clarke who had earlier criticised the team for their slow start to the World Cup campaign. After suffering defeats in the first two games, Australia turned the tide on its head, pulling off a remarkable comeback to win the World Cup last week. Australia had kicked off their campaign with back-to-back defeats against India and South Africa. However, the Pat Cummins-led side edged out the Proteas in the semi-final, before dominating hosts India in the final last Sunday.
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is unsure whether World Cup final Man of the Match winner Travis Head will be available for the opening game of the five-match T20I series against India on Thursday. Some of Australia's title-winning players returned home on Wednesday to rest for their Test series against Pakistan, while some stayed behind to face India once again but this time in the T20I format. Head is one of the players who has stayed behind but his availability for the series opener is still in doubt due to fitness concerns.

Left out initially, Marnus Labuschagne played a crucial role in Australia's record sixth World Cup title and the middle-order batter emphasised that he never lost hope and belief in "miracles". The 29-year-old was initially sidelined from Australia's 18-member provisional World Cup squad but was included at the last moment, replacing Ashton Agar due to a calf injury. "It's hard for me not to believe in miracles, and that there's someone above putting the pieces together," Labuschagne said after his unbeaten 58 here on Sunday.
