Background
Hello and Welcome to ABP's live coverage of the match between India and Australia. After an exhilarating Border-Gavaskar Trophy that India sealed by 2-1, both India and Australia will focus on the white ball series. The Men in Blue will lock horns against the Kangaroos in the three-match ODI series starting today at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Since the 50-over World Cup is seven months away, this series will provide both teams with an ideal stage for preparation. India will miss the service of Shreyas Iyer for the series, with a lower back issue that he sustained in the recently passed fourth Test against Australia.
Both India and Australia will step on the field without their regular skippers. Hardik Pandya will lead the side for India as Rohit Sharma will not play because of his family commitments. For Australia, Pat Cummins will not be taking part since he is in Sydney after his mother’s death. Steve Smith will lead the proceedings for Kangaroos. Since 2020, this is the first 50-over series between these two teams. Back in 2020, Australia won a three-game series 2-1.
Team India are coming to play this series after a fantastic Test series victory. They also won against New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the ODI series in 2023. While Australia will seek redemption and will look to win the ODI series.
