India vs Australia Preview

Given the surface in Dubai, it will take a lot for Australia to upset the odds against a very in-form Indian side.

India have won their last 6 ODIs.
India’s Shubman Gill has scored 100+ runs in 2 of his last 4 ODI innings.
Australia won their last completed ODI.
Australia’s Travis Head scored 50+ runs in his last match.

Head to Head

India have won three of the last five ODIs against Australia. They last met in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final, a game Australia won by six wickets.

India Form

India are in great form coming into this semi-final. Prior to the tournament, they thrashed England 3-0 at home and have subsequently won all three group stage games.

Last time out, India batted first against New Zealand in Dubai. They scored 249 runs on a slow pitch as Shreyas Iyer top scored with 79 runs.

It was certainly a score the Black Caps could chase down but on a slow wicket, India were too good with the ball. Varun Chakravarthy took 4-42 in his 10 overs to secure a 41-run win.

India Injuries & Team News

India are unlikely to make any changes. The conditions in Dubai suit them and they’ve had three games on the surface already.

Australia Form

Australia are the world champions in this format and have shown they have the ability to beat India against the odds. Who can forget the Cricket World Cup final when the Aussies beat India in the final against all odds.

The tournament started well for Australia as they chased down 350 to beat England. Since then, their game against South Africa was rained out without a ball being bowled and their last game was also interrupted by rain.

Bowling first against Afghanistan, Australia restricted them to 273 in 50 overs. In the chase, Australia rushed their way to 109-1 inside 13 overs, but the rain had the final say. Travis Head finished unbeaten on 59 off 40 balls.

The Aussies make the trip to Dubai for this fixture and may need to look at playing two spinners given the nature of the pitch.

Verdict

India v Australia - One Day Match

India are backed to win with Shubman Gill tipped to top score. Travis Head is backed for Australia in the same market.
