ICC T20 World Cup 2016: India vs Australia Head to Head in T20Is, match records and facts
“To the victor goes all the glory.” With that said, India and Australia square off today in the World T20 in a virtual quarter-final of sorts at Mohali. The winner gets through to the semi-finals of the competition while the losers get to watch the rest of the action from the comfy seats at their home or at a lounge of their preference with the question of “what if” hanging over their head.
While India have rarely got the upper hand over the Aussies in Tests or ODIs in recent times, the shortest version of the game has been more kind to The Men in Blue. With their recent thrashing (read whitewash) of Australia at their home down under, the record books have tilted significantly in favour of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men.
Another record that should give the country of a billion blues some solace is that India is yet to lost to Aussies in a T20 international played on their home soil.
Here is a closer look at how these clashes between these giants of cricket have looked in the recent past.
