India vs Australia 2017: 5 reasons why Australia can beat India in the T20I series

#1 David Warner and Marcus Stoinis

Australia would want a big score from Warner

Two players at opposite ends of the spectrum, David Warner and Marcus Stoinis hold the key to Australia's fortunes in the T20 series.

While Warner will stride out to open the batting, Stoinis will be the finisher expected to add the late impetus to the innings.

Warner has been superlative with the bat for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in recent seasons and has been reeling in one big score after another in the IPL. The Australian management would hope he becomes the fulcrum around which the batting could rotate.

Stoinis, on the other hand, has grown leaps and bounds over the past 12 months, and there are whispers of him possibly being included in the Ashes setup owing to his all-round abilities. This T20 tournament could well determine if he indeed makes the cut and hence the motivation for him to put in match-defining performances will be at an all-time high.
