AUS vs IND T20I Series: After a short break from international action, Team India fresh off their Asia Cup 2025 triumph under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy is all set to return to the field. Following the recently concluded ODI series, the focus now shifts to the shortest format, as India takes on Australia in a five-match T20I series starting October 29 in Canberra.
This highly anticipated series marks India’s first T20 outing since their Asia Cup victory, and fans are eager to see how Suryakumar Yadav’s men perform against one of the strongest T20 sides in the world.
Match Timing and Venue Details
The first IND vs AUS T20I will be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Since the series is being hosted in Australia, the match timings differ from those during the ODI leg. The T20 match will begin at 1:45 PM IST (7:15 PM local time).
During the ODI series, all games began at 9:00 PM IST, but the earlier start for the T20s should provide Indian fans with more convenient viewing hours.
