After a very competitive Test series, the two teams will now be battling it out in the fifty over format. This series will be a serious ground for the two teams to test themselves out and also their bench strength for the upcoming ODI World Cup later this year. 

The last time these two teams met in the ODI format was back in 2020 on Australia's home turf. The Aussies managed to win that series by a margin of 2-1. The Indians will be up for a redemption this time around and we are all set for three exciting contests ahead of us between two of the top teams in the world. 



IND vs AUS, 1st ODI: Pitch Report- Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium will favour the batters in general. It has a tendency to slow down with progression of the match, but as this is a day-night match, this can be counted out. Out of the last five matches that have been played on this venue, four have been won by the team batting second. The recent stats might well prompt the skipper winning the toss to field first. 

Interestingly, India have lost the last three ODI that they have played here. The last encounter was against Australia in 2020, where India faced a defeat by 10 wickets.

IND vs AUS, 1st ODI: Top Five Picks

  1. Shubman Gill (IND): The young Indian opener is plundering runs everywhere and that makes him a prime pick for the match. Shubman Gill has scored two centuries in the last three matches and has hit golden form. 
  2. Steve Smith (AUS): The stand-in Australian skipper has been in decent form in this format of the game. Steve Smith failed to deliver up to the expectations in the Test series and will be rearing to mend this in the limited overs. 
  3. Virat Kohli (IND): The Indian superstar has hit form in the last innings of the Test series. Virat Kohli will look to translate his form from the Test series into the ODI format. He is an important pick for this match. 
  4. Travis Head (AUS): The Australian batter looked in decent touch during the Test series. Prior to that Travis Head was in great form in the ODI format against England. In the last ODI innings he has snapped up a big hundred and that makes him a brilliant choice for the match. 
  5. Mohammed Siraj (IND): The number one ODI bowler is a must pick for this match. Mohammed Siraj has been in brilliant form in this format with 14 wickets in the last five matches. There is no way one can miss out on Siraj.
