So, Ind vs Aus tomorrow now. Do you guys think it's a confidence booster or destroyer for both the teams? We very well know that both are top favourites for the trophy. Any of the team winning this series would obviously go with their heads high in the world cup, while the other would seriously doubt their world cup preparations and would be really low on morale.

Going into a big tournament with a couple of wins under your belt does give you some confidence but i think it's about testing the water.

Both teams have different sets of objectives with this series. India are resting 4-5 players and would like to test the bench strength and fitness of Iyer etc. Australia on the other hand would love to give some game time as main players like Cummins, Starc, Smith etc were out of the action due to fitness.
