(Reuters) - Steve Smith has branded India favourites to win the T20 World Cup after Virat Kohli's side outclassed Australia in a warmup match on Wednesday.

Smith scored a half-century to help Australia post a competitive 152 for five in the tuneup in Dubai but India's batsmen mowed down the total with 13 balls to spare to win by eight wickets.
