Bengaluru will host the first match of Australia’s limited-over tour of India with a T20I on Feb. 24, the BCCI announced on Thursday.

The second T20I will be played in Visakhapatnam on Feb. 27, followed by five ODIs.

The first ODI will be held in Hyderabad on March 2, followed by matches in Nagpur (March 5), Ranchi (March 8), Mohali (March 10) and New Delhi (March 13).

Both T20Is will be night matches starting at 7 p.m., and all five ODIs will be day-night affairs, starting at 1.30 p.m. according to a BCCI release.

This will be Australia’s last international assignment before the World Cup which starts on May 30 in England.

For India, this series will be followed by a home series against Zimbabwe, before the players head into the IPL ahead of the World Cup.
