Regarding the limited overs outing for Australian perspective, it could be their?opportunity to revamp their waning reputation. As a reigning?champion, they always carry an additional burden of substantiating their stance in the cricketing spectrum. This is somewhere can be the case due to the pay dispute which steered them on the back seat. Hence they are now in the urgent need of catching up their lost motion. Therefore considering the advent of ICC World Cup 2019 this side has to stand strong to prevail their?respect.
On the other end, India is in their golden phase now. Pondering on the quality of cricket they have put forth in the past few months, they have already got the edge. Having said that, it is obvious that they have the home advantages over Kangaroos. And also they are on their unconquerable streak now so it would be very taxing for Kangaroos to knock the home team down in their own crafted yard. Since all the eyes would be in the series how both these teams pan out their endeavors.
