Their next friendly match is against New Zealand at Gabba in Brisbane which is a perfect opportunity to battle it out against one of the best sides in world cricket.

Despite the setbacks, the team is known for its brilliant performance when it comes to ICC tournaments. With the main event not far away, all the sides will like to get the maximum minutes on the field under their belt and get accustomed to the Australian conditions.

The New Zealand batting unit crumbled against South Africa in their previous game with the side only managing 98 runs on board. Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips were the only players who could manage double figures while the rest fell apart against the potent spin attack of the Proteas. The BlackCaps were always up against it with such a low score but the bowlers gave up without a fight which is a cause for worry.

The story for India in their win against Australia without a shadow of a doubt was the brilliance of Mohammad Shami, who bowled just a single over and picked up three wickets while giving away just 4 runs. India has faltered at the death in recent games and it was refreshing to see Shami do well. K L Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav continue to get runs for the team but the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to step up as well.
