IND vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction Cricket World Cup 2023

IND vs AUS Match Preview

India will kick off their World Cup campaign against Australia in Chennai. India will head into the match with great confidence, having defeated Australia in the ODI series ahead of the World Cup. India are one of the favourites to win the World Cup and will be eyeing a winning start. Playing in Chennai will help India as the conditions favour spinners and the Men in Blue have the luxury of some quality spinners in the team.

Meanwhile, Australia have lost their last two ODI series. Before the series loss to India, the team also suffered a defeat against South Africa. However, the team is one of the best in the competition and will be a force to reckon with.

Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this match.

IND vs AUS Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks All Rounders, Batsman, Bowlers, Wicket Keepers

IND vs AUS Dream11 Top Picks

Virat Kohli

There is no bigger match-winner for India than Virat Kohli in ODI format. Kohi is the best batsman in this format of the game and has scored 47 ODI centuries. He will be playing his last World Cup and will be keen to lead the team to title win at home.

Shreyas Iyer

There were doubts about the selection of Shreyas Iyer in the Indian cricket team but he scored a century in the ODI series against Australia and cemented his place. Iyer is a match-winner on his day and possess skills to tackle the lethal pace attack of the Australian cricket team.

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav has enjoyed a great return to team India. He has been among the wickets in every game and will be India’s trump card in Chennai where spinners get a lot of help from the surface.

Steve Smith

Steve Smith has been a nemesis for India in World Cups. The former captain has a stunning record against India and will be a thorn in the flesh for the Men in Blue if he stays at the wicket for long. Also, Smith is Australia’s best batter when it comes to playing spin. 

Mitchell Starc

Starc will be Aussies’ lead pacer in the tournament along with Pat Cummins. He has picked up some form ahead of the tournament, having taken up a hattrick in the warm-up game against Netherlands. He can create a lot of problems for team India.
