India recently beat Australia in a three-match ODI series 2-1 but that won't count at the World Cup as Pat Cummins' side will be ready to avenge that defeat. Team news from either side is that Shubman Gill won't feature for India due to fever whereas reports suggest that Aussie all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will also miss the fixture due to an injury.
Head-to-Head Record
India have played Australia a total of 149 times in ODIs. Owing to their dominance in world cricket up until the early 2000s, Australia have a much stronger record in the exchanges. They have won 83 of the 149 games, while India have won 56 and 10 have not produced a result. Of the last five match-ups between the two teams, Australia have won three and India two.
Weather Conditions
As is the norm in Chennai, the weather is likely to be hot and humid, with the expected maximum temperature being 33 degrees Celsius. There could be some scattered showers in the evening, but that may not be enough to derail the match.
