Ricky Ponting predicts Australia will beat India

Mumbai: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes Team India will be keen to “redeem themselves” but Aaron Finch’s men will be able to beat the hosts in the three-match ODI series beginning Tuesday at the Wankhede. “Australia will be full of confidence after an excellent World Cup and a great summer of Test cricket but India will be keen to redeem themselves from the last ODI series loss against Australia. Prediction: 2-1 Australia,” Ponting said on Twitter during a Q&A session with the fans. “I think he’ll do a great job for Australia in the middle order. He’s a very good player of spin, a very good runner between the wickets, gun in the field and can bowl some handy leg spin so the overall package is very appealing.” IANS
