India vs Australia at a glance

• Australia has won its last six games in a row.

• India has been in excellent form in one-day internationals, winning their previous eight home matches in a row.

India vs Australia Team Preview

India

India is a highly powerful team at home in all formats, but especially in ODIs. As they prepare for the World Cup later this year, they will head into this first match in the series looking to go up 1-0.

With the 2023 World Cup less than seven months ahead, we anticipate India to continue to take this format seriously. They have chosen a very strong group, albeit skipper Rohit Sharma will miss the first match, which will be led by Hardik Pandya.

Australia

Australia will have gained a lot of confidence from their performance, which included winning one of the final two Tests on this tour. They have some extremely good ODI players who have played in these conditions before.

With captain Pat Cummins still in Australia owing to a family loss, Steve Smith, who led the squad in the last two Tests, will captain the team again in this series. There are no injuries among the squad members ahead of the opening ODI at Wankhede Stadium.

India vs Australia Team Form in Last 5 Matches

India vs Australia outfield report

Wankhede Stadium Mumbai

We predict that both captains will elect to field first if their teams win the toss before this game since the team batting second has won four of the last five ODIs at this stadium.

The weather forecast calls for mostly sunny skies throughout the contest, with cloudless skies in the evening. The temperature will not fall below 29 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are always lots of runs available at this facility, and we anticipate a par score of 300 or above. The pitch will be a little faster than we’ve seen in the recent Test series.
