IND vs AUS Match Preview

India will embark on an exciting white-ball trip to Australia this week, beginning with the ODI leg on Sunday at Perth Stadium. India will be making their debut in this format since winning the Champions Trophy in March, so some rust is to be expected. Australia, on the other hand, appears to be in better rhythm, despite the absence of some of its key players. Playing at home gives them a distinct advantage, and they will be confident in setting the tone early in the series.

IND vs AUS Probable Winners:

India and Australia have one of the most intense rivalries in limited-overs cricket, with each series featuring drama and high-quality contests. This must be no different. Australia has the advantage at home, with a strong unit able to handle any situation. India, while skilled and full of potential match-winners, may feel worn out after going 7 months without a 50-over match. Faced with a fast and bouncy Perth pitch right away, their top order will be tested against the speed and bounce generated by Hazlewood and Starc. Still, India has an upper hand in this match and should have an intense match too. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
