Pre-Match Analysis:
The current Indian side is rolling back to their glory days by putting up stunning performances in the ongoing International Masters League. They remain the only team that has not lost any game in the competition so far and are currently positioned at the pole position with 6 points. Sachin Tendulkar and his team toiled hard to get off the mark in their opener against Sri Lanka by scripting a narrow 4-run victory. That was followed by back-to-back straightforward victories against England and South Africa by 9 wickets and 8 wickets, respectively. They have rotated their batters to give everyone a crack while they have operated with their regular bowling setup.
Australia Masters are finding ways to score their first points on the table. Despite posting an excess of 200 on both occasions against West Indies and Sri Lanka, they ended up on the losing side in the final overs, which is highly depressing. Skipper Shane Watson showed the way with a stellar century against the West Indies, and in the follow-up against Sri Lanka, the half-centuries from Shaun Marsh (77) and Ben Dunk (56) created the spark. It felt like the ageing bowlers have lost the charm and leaked plenty of runs easily. They need to put in extra efforts against mighty India.
