Head-to-head and recent records
Team India recently won the Asia Cup and then defeated the same Australian team 2-1 in the three-match ODI series. The recent record of the Australian team captained by Pat Cummins is also a cause of trouble because it had lost the series against South Africa before coming to India.
Before the World Cup, Team India had to play two warm-up matches against England and Netherlands. However, both of these could not be done due to rain. On the other hand, Australia had defeated Pakistan in the warm-up game.
However, a total of 149 ODIs have been played between the two teams so far. Australia won 83 matches and India won 56 matches. 10 matches remained inconclusive. Australia also has the upper hand in the ODI World Cup. 12 matches were played between the two teams. Australia won in 8 and India won in only 4. However, the last match in 2019 was won by India.
India's top performers
There are question marks over Shubman Gill's performance in this match and he has been our top performer with the bat so far this year. Gill has scored 1230 runs in 20 matches. He also scored a double century. Talking about the bowling front, Kuldeep Yadav took 33 wickets in 17 ODIs this year. During this period his economy was 4.72.
Chennai's pitch is generally spin friendly, if even today the pitch seems conducive to spin then Team India can go with 3 spinners. Ravichandran Ashwin may get a chance along with Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav.
Labuschagne-Jampa top performers
Marnus Labuschagne played 11 matches for Australia this year and scored 464 runs at a strike rate of 93.17. The highest was 124 runs.
Kangaroo team has a strong bowling attack. Mitchell Starc and captain Pat Cummins can shake up any batting unit, while Josh Hazlewood will take command with the new ball. However, leg spinner Adam Zampa was more successful this year. He has taken 15 wickets in 9 matches with an economy of 6.29.
