#3. The pace attack of both the teams

The speedy and bouncy Australian pitches would offer a lot to the pacers from both the sides. There is no doubt that the team with the better pace bowling performance will come out on top in this series.
Both the teams are packing some good genuine fast bowling options. The Aussies have their attack ready with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins at the forefront, and Peter Siddle and Chris Tremain also in the squad. Even Mitchell Marsh could come in handy with his medium-fast bowling.
India on the other hand have seen their fast bowlers grow from good to better in recent times, and they have already proved their worth in the series against South Africa and England this year. The experienced Ishant Sharma would be leading the pace attack with Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah for company.
All these bowlers will play a vital role in deciding the result of each game and even the series.
