World Cup 2019: 3 key battles that could decide the outcome of India vs Australia

#3 Dhoni and Pandya against Cummins at the death

India v New Zealand – ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Warm Up

One of the big strengths for India in this years World Cup is their options of power hitters at the death. Over the years, thats one area where they have struggled to find the right personnel.

If the Indian top order lay a solid foundation, there are the likes of MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya to take care of the final few overs with some monstrous hitting. Both the players are in great hitting form and that bodes well for the Indian side.

Australia would know that well and in Pat Cummins, they have a very good bowler who is capable of bowling quick yorkers and also has the ability to surprise the batsmen with good short pitched deliveries.

It will be interesting to see how Aaron Finch uses Pat Cummins tomorrow considering India have very good power hitting options at the back end. His duel up against Hardik Pandya could be mouth watering as both like to dominate and win the game for their countries.

All in all, it should be a cracking contest between two in-form teams.
