India and Australia both are strong teams and have their own pros and cons. The Australian camp has Glenn Maxwell as the "X-factor". Chennai pitch is known for mostly providing assistance to both batters and bowlers. As the match progresses, Chennai pitch slows down, helping the spinners and making it tough for batters to time the ball. In the Indian side, we have R Ashwin who is an absolute game changer, who has the ability to confuse Australian stalwarts with his spin.
Australia Predicted Playing XI: Pat Cummins (captain), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc.
India Predicted Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav.

IND vs AUS HIGHLIGHTS: What a day for Team India
Great start to their World Cup opener for Team India. Australia were bowled out for 199. But India were 2/3 at end of 2 overs which is when Rahul and Kohli joined hands. The two added 165 runs for the fourth wicket which ensured India get to a comfortable position from where Rahul and Pandya finished it off. Rahul-97* off 115 balls, Pandya- 11* off 8. Kohli with a super knock as well, making 85 off 116 balls. Josh Hazlewood the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 3/38 in 9 overs. Mitchell Starc- the only other wicket-taker with 1/31 after 8 overs. The difference was perhaps that dropped catch of Kohli when he was on 12. Aussie spinners were also little less effective with dew coming in and Indian batters playing them comfortably. Rahul it is who has been adjudged the Player of the Match.
