India Team News & Playing 11
IND Team News
Captain Rohit Sharma and experienced batter Virat Kohli will both be rested for this match and the next game and we expect Jasprit Bumrah to also sit out this clash alongside Kuldeep Yadav in Mohali. Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar both have an opportunity to further their World Cup claims in this match.
IND Key Players
- KL Rahul - The keeper-batter was in brilliant form after he came into the team mid-way through the Asia Cup. He hit 111 not out in his return against Pakistan.
- Mohammed Siraj - The opening bowler was simply unplayable against Sri Lanka on Sunday in the Asia Cup Final. He took 6-21 but his accuracy and pace deserved even better.
- Ravichandran Ashwin - The vastly experienced bowling all-rounder has taken 151 wickets in this format but has not played an ODI since January 2022.
- Ravindra Jadeja - Ravindra Jadeja loves to play at this venue and has displayed some of his best performances with both bat and ball at this ground. He has won 3 player of the match awards in Tests at Mohali. He is certainly a key all-rounder for India in this match.
IND Team Form
India have won four of their last five ODIs with their only defeat during this run when they had already qualified for the Asia Cup final.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc are unavailable for the 1st ODI and we can expect them to be back in the next matches. Pat Cummins and Steve Smith will be back after injuries. Travis Head sustained a fracture to his left hand in South Africa and he will miss this series.
AUS Key Players
- Marnus Labuschagne - The 29 year old won his place back in the ODI side during the tour of South Africa and his performances showed that he is determined to hold onto it for the World Cup.
- David Warner - The left-handed opener knows he is coming towards the end of his international career but he is still a match-winner at the top of the order for his country in this format.
- Pat Cummins - The captain has taken 124 wickets in ODI cricket but has not played in this format since 2022. However, he is a very consistent bowler in any format.
- Steve Smith - Smith is returning from an injury and he has to cement his place in the World Cup playing 11 which is why he will give his best in this series. We are aware of his capabilities and he has a good sense of Indian pitches. Smith has an average of 42.10 in ODIs in India.
AUS Team Form
Australia come into this match looking to avoid their fourth successive ODI defeat.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Cameron Green, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Who will win India vs Australia 1st ODI Match?
Although India are without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in their batting line-up, player for player, they still look likely to be the top team ahead of this ODI.
🏆 India vs Australia Prediction
Both teams will not only be looking to get valuable match practice in during this series, but will consider the opposition as perfect to produce good competitive cricket matches. We expect a tight game to begin the series but expect India’s greater experience in home conditions to be a major factor and for them to go on to win the fixture.
