IND Team News
Fit-again Jasprit Bumrah proved his recovery from a back injury in the T20i series against Sri Lanka, while Rohit Sharma is back in the squad after being rested for that series. It remains to be seen which of KL Rahul or Shikhar Dhawan will partner Sharma at the top of the order. Mohammed Shami, also rested for the T20i series against Sri Lanka, is another back in contention but Hardik Pandya is still out injured.
IND Key Players
Virat Kohli: Hit 85 in his most recent ODI innings against West Indies – his 55th half-century in the format, to go with the astonishing 43 hundreds he has scored. The India captain still averages 59.84 in ODI cricket.
Rohit Sharma: Scored 36, 159 and 63 in the three matches against the West Indies last time out and is back fresh from being rested for the recent T20i series with Sri Lanka. The big-hitting opener is now 56 runs short of 9,000 in ODI cricket.
Jasprit Bumrah: The top-ranked bowler in ODI cricket, fit-again Bumrah has taken 103 wickets in 58 matches in the format and boasts an excellent economy rate too.
IND Team Form
Since the World Cup, India have played two ODI series – both against West Indies, at home and away. Five of the six scheduled matches were completed and, of those, India won four. Most recently, they opened their home series with West Indies with a defeat – failing to defend 287/8 – but hit back in style. Rohit Sharma scored 159 as India posted 387/5 in the second match, before Kuldeep Yadav’s hat-trick helped them to a 107-run win. Virat Kohli and Sharma then both hit half-centuries as India chased 316 to win the decider by four wickets.

David Warner: In excellent form in T20i and test cricket for Australia this summer, the big-hitting opener is ten runs short of 5,000 in ODI cricket as he looks to add to his 17 centuries and 20 half-centuries.
Aaron Finch: Has struck up a fierce opening partnership with Warner in white-ball cricket, and the Australia captain has 24 half-centuries and 15 hundreds in ODI cricket.
Pat Cummins: Ranked fourth in the world in ODI cricket, the paceman is another to have shone across the formats for Australia this summer and he is also just four wickets short of 100 in ODI cricket as he gears up for his 59th appearance.
AUS Team Form
Australia are playing their first ODI matches since their defeat in the 2019 Cricket World Cup semi-final to hosts and eventual winners England. They have been in otherwise good form, however, enjoying T20i success against Pakistan and Sri Lanka and winning tests against Pakistan and New Zealand.
