Australia Vs India Prediction 8/12/20
India look to be in a strong position to do to Australia, what the Aussies normally do to their opponents.
They have their metaphorical foot on the Aussie throat, and Virat is a man more likely to press harder, than help the Aussies back up.
Prediction – India to win @ 8/11 with Betfair
India just seem in far better shape. Australia have too many players out, with their bowling looking incredibly under par without Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood.
It’s not very often you get the chance to whitewash Australia, but I think that may happen tomorrow.
