Australia vs India Preview:

Australia( AUS ) is set to face India( IND ) in their 1st ODI match during the India tour of Australia, 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Perth Stadium on Sunday, October 19.

Australia’s recent ODI form has been below their usual standards as they prepare to host India in what promises to be a challenging series. Their 2-1 loss to South Africa exposed a few vulnerabilities, and they’ll be keen to bounce back strongly in familiar home conditions.

At the top of the order, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, and Mitchell Marsh will look to set the tone with a mix of controlled stroke play and attacking intent. Head, in particular, enjoys batting against India — he already has three centuries and four fifties in just 15 ODIs against them — so another big score from him wouldn’t be surprising.

In the middle overs, Matthew Short and Mitchell Owen are expected to provide fluency and stability, while Cameron Green will take charge in the death overs with his power-hitting ability. With the ball, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will share the new ball, both capable of extracting bounce and seam movement, especially on a surface like Perth’s. Although Pat Cummins will be missed, Nathan Ellis offers a reliable alternative with his consistency and control.

In the spin department, Adam Zampa and Matthew Kuhnemann will be key. Zampa’s clever variations and accuracy make him particularly dangerous against India’s strong middle order.

As for India, they enter the series with a well-balanced squad blending experience and youth. The top order of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and new captain Shubman Gill provides both stability and flair. All eyes will be on Rohit and Kohli as they return to white-ball cricket after a seven-month break, both eager to make an impact in conditions where they’ve historically thrived.

The middle order will depend on Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul for stability, while young all-rounder Nitish Reddy adds depth and finishing power. In the pace department, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh are set to take the new ball. Siraj’s recent red-ball form has been impressive, and Arshdeep’s left-arm angle brings useful variation to the attack.

India’s spin duo, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, will play a crucial role through the middle overs. Kuldeep’s unpredictable wrist spin and Axar’s accuracy could make things tricky for the Australian batters, especially as the surface begins to grip later in the innings.

AUS vs IND Possible Playing XI:

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Josh Inglis (wk), Matthew Short, Mitchell Owen/Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Matthew Kuhnemann/Ben Dwarshuis.

AUS vs IND Pitch Report:

The pitch at Perth Stadium is known for its pace, bounce, and true carry, making it a paradise for fast bowlers and stroke players alike. Early in the game, seamers can expect good movement off the surface, with extra bounce that challenges batters to stay disciplined. As the match progresses, the wicket tends to settle, offering a consistent bounce and rewarding players who time the ball well. Batters can trust the pitch once they get their eye in, and the quick outfield ensures full value for well-placed shots. Spinners generally have limited impact early on but may come into play later if the surface dries and cracks slightly. Overall, it’s a balanced track — quicks dominate early, batters flourish in the middle, and a total around 170–180 in T20s or 300-plus in ODIs is often considered competitive.

AUS vs IND Weather Report:

The weather at Perth Stadium on October 19 at 11:30 AM local time is expected to be mostly cloudy with a temperature of around 19°C. Conditions will be mild and comfortable for cricket, with light winds and moderate humidity. Although the morning session should remain largely dry, there is a slight chance of light showers developing around noon, which could bring brief interruptions later in the day. The overcast sky might offer some assistance to the fast bowlers early on, while the pleasant temperature ensures a comfortable playing atmosphere for both players and fans.

Batters to Watch (Recent Form):

Travis Head (AUS) – In his last 7 ODIs, Head has scored 297 runs at an average of 49.5 with a strike rate of 128.01. Known for his aggressive stroke play, he can change the game quickly.

Josh Inglis (AUS) – Across 9 matches, Inglis has tallied 270 runs at 45.0 with a strike rate of 107.14. He offers stability at the top while keeping the scoreboard ticking.

Shubman Gill (IND) – Gill has been in excellent form, scoring 488 runs in 10 matches at 54.22 with a strike rate of 87.61. His elegant strokeplay makes him a key threat for Australia.

Shreyas Iyer (IND) – In 10 games, Iyer has amassed 439 runs at 43.9 with a strike rate of 93.6. He’s crucial for India’s middle-order stability and scoring momentum.

Bowlers to Watch (Recent Form):

Adam Zampa (AUS) – Over 10 matches, Zampa has taken 13 wickets at an economy of 6.08 and a strike rate of 34.69. His variations in the middle overs can trouble India’s batters.

Ben Dwarshuis (AUS) – In 5 games, Dwarshuis has claimed 10 wickets at 5.6 economy with a strike rate of 27. His pace and bounce make him dangerous with the new ball.

Kuldeep Yadav (IND) – Across 9 matches, Kuldeep has picked 12 wickets at an economy of 4.55 and a strike rate of 42.08. His wrist spin could be key in controlling Australia’s middle order.

Axar Patel (IND) – In 10 games, Patel has taken 10 wickets at 4.4 economy and a strike rate of 50. His accuracy and left-arm spin provide India with a reliable bowling option.

Expected Scores:

1st Innings: 280–310

2nd Innings: 270–300

Key Notes:

Pitch & Conditions:

Perth Stadium offers a fast, bouncy surface favoring pace bowlers early.

The ball comes nicely onto the bat once set, making it conducive for stroke play in the middle overs.

Slight cloud cover and mild humidity may assist bowlers a bit in the morning, but scoring should be easier after the first 8–10 overs.

Batting Considerations:

Teams batting first generally have an advantage, with totals around 280–310 considered competitive in ODIs here.

Australia’s top order (Head, Inglis, Marsh) and India’s top trio (Rohit, Gill, Kohli) can capitalize early if they get in.

Middle overs will require consolidation; strong partnerships are key to push scores past 300.

Bowling Impact:

New-ball bowlers (Hazlewood/Starc for AUS, Siraj/Arshdeep for IND) could pick early wickets to control the game.

Spinners (Zampa, Kuldeep, Axar, Kuhnemann) may become effective in the middle overs if cracks or turn develop.

Death-over hitting from Green (AUS) and Nitish Reddy (IND) could significantly influence the final total.

Overall:

Expect a high-scoring contest, with the team batting first likely to set a target near 300.

Chasing sides will need controlled aggression early, pacing the innings while handling the bounce and pace of the Perth wicket.
