Adelaide: The Australians may have dominated India so far but spinner Xavier Doherty, on Saturday, said his team would have to be on guard as the resurgent visitors might hit back strongly.

The two teams will clash for the second time in the tri-series, here, on Sunday.

India put up a decent bowling effort in Melbourne against Australia before losing the match but managed to defeat Sri Lanka in the second. “India will be pretty chuffed with themselves after the Melbourne win. They have a very solid batting line-up and quite a few key players,” said Doherty, who took two for 24 in Friday’s five-run win over Sri Lanka at Waca.

Doherty is also aware of the fact that the Adelaide Oval is spinner-friendly and he could be a key performer.(PTI)
