Following a crushing 3-0 home defeat to New Zealand, India now faces the daunting task of a five-match Test series in Australia. With their spot in the World Cup final in jeopardy following the loss, India will be under pressure to turn things around. On the other hand, Australia is going to be eager to reclaim its pride after losing its final two home Test series to India. The action begins in Perth, which is known for its fast and bouncy surface. Given India's current form and Australia's stronghold at home, the hosts are expected to have the advantage in the series opener.

The pitch is expected to have a thick grass cover, which will benefit quick bowlers in the first test. It should offer good pace and additional bounce to trouble batsmen on both sides. Bowlers will also notice good seam movement, especially with the new ball in play.
The weather is expected to be sunny, warm, and clear for the five-day test, with light winds at times. It should be a pleasant morning session.

Australia has yet to lose a game at the Optus Stadium in Perth. They're the home team, and they cover the majority of the bases. India, on the opposite hand, would have been shaken by their home series defeat to New Zealand. They are also missing two of their top batters. The guests have their work cut out for them. Their greatest chance will be if their fast bowlers can get through Australia's inconsistent batting lineup. However, based on both teams' strengths and weaknesses, we believe Australia will dominate this contest. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
