LIVE SCORES - Australia vs India - 1st ODI Match - September 22

Current Form Australia:

Australia have recently lost a 5 match ODI series against South Africa by 3-2. However, they played a serious swashbuckling cricket and came close to winning several times.

Cricketers like Mitchell Marsh and David Warner have hit form at the right time and they will certainly be the key players for the tour of India.

Players to look out for:

1. Mitchell Marsh - He has got a great record against India in One day Internationals. Marsh counter attacks the bowlers when his team is in trouble and it can be decisive in the matches against India.

2. Mitchell Starc- He is making a comeback after missing out on the South Africa tour. Starc can provide breakthroughs at crucial junctures of the match and is a certain match winner.

Current Form India:

India have announced their superiority in International cricket by winning the Asia Cup comprehensively. They are one of the best teams to play in the ODI format.

Most of their players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill are in sublime form and they are expected to continue scoring runs against Australia in the upcoming matches.

Players to look out for:

1. Ruturaj Gaikwad - He is a fine player who has shown his potential in the Indian Premier league. If Gaikwad gets going in the series, Australian bowlers will find it hard to dominate India.

2. Mohammed Siraj- After a dream spell in the Asia Cup Final, Siraj is high on confidence and he must be itching to deliver one more time on a bigger stage and against a bigger team.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

India:

KL Rahul (c), Ravindra Jadeja (vc), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
