IND vs AUS: Today, the first match of the 3-match ODI series will be held between India and Australia at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium (PCA Stadium) in Mohali, starting at 1:30 pm. Let’s take a look at the head-to-head record of both teams at this venue.
IND vs AUS: Historical Record and High Stakes for World Cup Preparation
Before the start of the ODI World Cup, India and Australia will face each other in a three-match ODI series. The first match of this series will take place today, on September 22nd, at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium (PCA Stadium) in Mohali. Both teams aim to strengthen their claims for the World Cup by winning this tournament. KL Rahul will lead India in the first two matches against Australia, while the Australian team will be under the leadership of Pat Cummins, who is returning to ODI cricket after several months due to injury.
Before this series, India and Australia have played five ODI matches at the Mohali stadium. This will be the sixth encounter between the two teams at this venue. When looking at the statistics, the Australian team holds the upper hand. Out of the five matches played here, India has suffered defeat in four of them, with the visiting team establishing its dominance.
India did manage to secure a victory against Australia at this venue in 1996, with veteran cricketer Sachin Tendulkar playing a crucial role in a thrilling win, saving six runs in the last over. The Indian team, having faced defeat four times, is eager to secure a win this time. Meanwhile, the Australian team aims to maintain its winning streak on this ground.
IND vs AUS Head-to-Head Records:
In total, there have been 146 ODIs between India and Australia. Australia has emerged victorious in 84 matches, while the Indian team has managed to win 54 matches. Ten matches ended without a result.
Statistically, Australia’s team appears stronger against India. However, in Indian conditions, defeating Team India is no easy task. Earlier this year, both teams faced each other in a 3-match ODI series in India, with Australia winning the series 2-1 despite initially trailing 0-1.
