Match Preview
The ODI World Cup 2023 hosts India will open their campaign in the current season of the ICC event on October 8, Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led squad will take on Pat Cummins side at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk.
India are coming on the back of a win at the Asia Cup 2023. Not only this, but India and Australia also locked horns in a three-match ODI series on Indian soil, where the hosts outclassed the visitors 2-1. Both Australia and India are two of the strongest teams in the international cricket and it will be interesting to see which team takes the victory in the upcoming clash.
Toss Prediction
Both Australia and India share an ODI rivalry of 149 matches, but if we have a look at their recent clashes, the Aussie captain got luck on his side and came on top 2-1 over the Indian skipper in the toss battle. Considering this, we think Indian captain Rohit Sharma will get lucky and hence, win the toss in India's season opener of the tournament.
Win Possibility
As we talked about it, India and Australia have locked horns in 149 matches in the 50-over format. In those matches, the Baggy Greens have won 83 matches while India got the victory on 56 occasions. It goes without saying that Australia are considered as one of the strongest teams in the world. However, considering their recent performances and records, we think the hosts will begin the tournament on a favourable note.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The MA Chidambaram Stadium, or Chepauk as it is widely known among fans, will host a total of five matches in the ongoing season of the ODI World Cup. If we have a look at the past matches played at the venue, the stadium has hosted a total of 34 limited-over matches with an average first innings score of 233. For the forthcoming match, we can expect the first inning score to be between 250-270 and the powerplay score is likely to be between 45-50.
