The match will be taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday 17th March. The encounter is scheduled to start from 1:30 PM IST. After a very competitive Test series the two teams will now be battling it out in the fifty-over format. This series will be a serious ground for the two teams to test themselves out and also their bench strength for the upcoming ODI World Cup later this year. The last time these two teams met in the ODI format was back in 2020 on Australia's home turf. The Aussies managed to win that series by a margin of 2-1. The Indians will be up for redemption this time around and we are all set for three exciting contests ahead of us between two of the top teams in the world. India Team News: Shreyas Iyer will not be available for selection because of injury. Also India will miss the services of Rohit Sharma in this match as he is unavailable for selection because of personal reasons. Australia Team News: Pat Cummins has been ruled out of the ODI series due to personal reasons. Ground Stats: The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium will favour the batters in general. It has a tendency to slow down with the progression of the match but as this is a day-night match this can be counted out. Out of the last five matches that have been played at this venue four have been won by the team batting second. The recent stats might well prompt the skipper winning the toss to field first. Interestingly India have lost the last three ODI that they have played here. The last encounter was against Australia in 2020 where India faced a defeat by ten wickets. Numbers at the ground (Overall ODIS): Total Matches: 27 - Matches won batting first: 13 - Matches won batting second: 14 - Average score batting first: 240 - Average score batting second: 201 With an intense Border-Gavaskar Trophy behind them and a World Test Championship final well ahead India and Australia switch formats and begin preparation for another ICC tournament coming at the end of this year. For former winners and forever aspirants of the 50-over title the series is an apt starting point to tune-up. With the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel returning India go into the series with a near full-strength squad and a chance to try different combinations in the lead up to the World Cup where they play nine bilateral ODIs and an Asia Cup. Australia are missing skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood but they too have the opportunity to figure out the balance of their side in the actual World Cup conditions in India. After the three ODIs there they have five games in South Africa before playing three more in India again in September. Besides starting on the right note in preparation for the showpiece event at home India also have Wankhede form to overturn. They've lost their previous three ODIs there with their last win coming in 2011. Australia meanwhile can take a leaf out of their 2020 performance at the venue where they pummeled India - with seven of those in the playing XI that day present in the current squad. What to expect: A true surface and high scores. The results at this venue are almost equally distributed between teams batting first and bowling first (13 to 14 respectively).
