ICC World Cup 2023: India vs. Australia- Match Predictions, Preview, and Odds by Betadda

India will be commencing their World Cup journey on 8th October at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, from 2:00 PM IST onwards, where they are set to take on Australia.

This marks their 13th meeting in the World Cup, with the previous being in 2019, which India won by 36 runs. The rivalry between India and Australia dates back to the 1983 World Cup and they faced each other in the final of the ICC World Test Championship in 2023, with Australia emerging victorious.

Pitch Report

The stadium is renowned for its sporting pitch, which caters for both batters and bowlers. Its surface is generally dry, providing traction for spinners; however, as the game goes on it has a tendency to slow down, making batting more difficult in the second innings. This is why most teams opt to bat first, after winning the toss.

Players Face-Off

Shubman Gill, the driving force of India’s roster, has showcased his power by scoring 1437 runs in 27 matches. On the other hand, Mitchell Starc of Australia is the one to be feared during the middle and later parts of the game. He has taken 219 wickets in 110 matches.
