India vs Australia, World Cup 2023 Match 5: Team news
Australia have traditionally dominated India in World Cup matches. They have won eight out of 10 times against the hosts. However, India emerged victorious when they met last time in 2019, thanks to a Player of the Match knock of 117 off 109 by Shikhar Dhawan.
India are going through a purple patch after a successful Asia Cup 2023, followed by an ODI series win against Australia. Shubman Gill has reportedly tested positive for dengue and is unwell. However, a call on his selection will be taken based on his fitness at the last minute. Tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin will likely get the nod on a spin-friendly Chepauk pitch ahead of a third pacer.
The big guns have returned for Australia ahead of their curtain-raiser fixture. Mitchell Marsh will open the innings in place of an injured Travis Head, who is set to miss the initial few encounters. In the third ODI against India a few days back, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood played together for the first time since November 2020. The decorated pace attack will look to deliver a sucker punch.
India vs Australia predicted XIs
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
Australia: Mitchell Marsh, David Warner, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa.
Match prediction – today’s India-Australia live match
If India can manoeuvre past Australia’s new ball onslaught, the match is theirs to win. A spin-friendly Cheapuk pitch with three quality spinners – Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja – in their ranks tilts the game heavily in their favour.
