IND vs AUS: Australia’s Squad For ODI Series Against India Revealed; Pat Cummins To Captain

The Australian squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against India was announced on September 17, 2023. This series will be the last bilateral assignment for both teams before the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 begins on October 5 in India.

The Australian team is in South Africa where they first faced off in a three-match T20I series which the Mitchell Marsh-led side won by 3-0. The five-match ODI series between the two sides is currently leveled at 1-1, thanks to the stupendous encounter in Centurion.

South Africa has batted first in Centurion and posted a mammoth 416/5 with Heinrich Klaasen hammering 174 in 83 balls with 13 fours and 13 sixes to his name. He added more than 200 unbeaten runs with David Miller, who made 82* in 45 balls with 6 fours and 5 sixes, with South Africa making 173 runs in the last 10 overs, a world record.

Australia couldn’t chase down the total and managed 252 in 34.5 overs with Alex Carey top-scoring with 99, while Travis Head fractured his hand after being hit.
