Australia tour of India 2023 – 1st ODI, match preview, predicted lineups
India take on Australia tomorrow in the first ODI of the 3-match series as the tour moves ahead. India come into this game as the favourites.
Date and Time : 17th March 2023, 1:30 PM IST
Venue : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Team India after a solid Test series will be aiming for success in the one-dayers to overcome the Aussie challenge. They will have to play their brand of cricket.
Batsman will have to lay the platform for the team. Bowling wise the bowlers will have to be accurate with their efforts so that the team is aided.
Coach and captain will have to bring their A game.
On the other hand, Australia will be very unsatisfied with their efforts in the Test series given their prowess but definitely will look to make amends.
Batsman will look to make good use of the conditions in India. While the bowlers will need to do the regular job.
Andrew McDonald and his men will have to very well stick to the game plans.
For the wicket, it will be good for batting with also use for the bowlers.

Prediction
I expect it to be a tightly fought contest between two good teams. It should go to the very end. May the best team on the night which commits less mistakes win the game and take the 1-0 lead.
