IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction today, 1st ODI, Head to Head Statistics, Best Fantasy Tips and Pitch Report

IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction today: On Friday (March 17), the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will host the first ODI between India (IND) and Australia (AUS). India, who recently won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 by 2-1, enters the three-match ODI series as the favorites. The Indian team is unbeaten in ODIs this year and has beaten New Zealand 3-0 and Sri Lanka in their latest home ODIs. This performance is a good sign for India ahead of the upcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023, which will also take place in India.

Australia’s last ODI series was in November at home, after the T20 World Cup 2022, where they won all three ODIs against England. However, they will be without captain Pat Cummins and star pacer Josh Hazlewood due to various reasons, while Glenn Maxwell returns to the squad after his lengthy leg injury.

India will be without captain Rohit Sharma for the first ODI due to family commitments, so Ishan Kishan is likely to open the batting in his place. Additionally, injured Shreyas Iyer will not play, so either Suryakumar Yadav or Rahul Tripathi will take his place in the playing XI. Umran Malik will likely warm the bench with Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Shardul Thakur forming a three-man pace attack.
