IND vs AUS FREE Live Streaming: When and How to watch India vs Australia Cricket World Cup 2023 Match live on Web, TV, mobile apps online

India vs Australia FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 5: As the cricketing world witnesses the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 unfold, we now look forward to Team India, as they will open their campaign against five-time World Cup Champions Australia at home. Rohit Sharma-led Team India will face Pat Cummins-led Aussies on Sunday, October 8, at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Both India and Australia are bookies' favourites to win the coveted trophy. India has been on a great run recently. Fresh off the triumphs of the Asia Cup 2023 and a 2-1 ODI series against Australia just before the World Cup, Team India is high on spirit and confidence. 

Australia also has its frontline players back in the squad after their injury woes, and some regular starters getting into gear just before the World Cup.

Australia Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

In both batting and bowling disciplines, Australia has excelled in Indian conditions. The pace trio of skipper Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc are expected to cause havoc, and wrist spinner Adam Zampa also has good figures to his name in India. He has taken 27 wickets in 16 matches, averaging at 30.77. Batsmen David Warner and Steve Smith, along with all-rounders Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell, possess some great experience here, courtesy of their game time during the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

Travis Head's injury was the only blow to the Aussie squad, but the team has sorted out that problem, with Warner and Marsh linking up well as their opening pair.

India Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses

India have been dealt a major blow as opener Shubman Gill has tested positive for dengue and might be out of the squad for this match. However, youngster Ishan Kishan is expected to open the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma. Having played for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL in the same position, Ishan and Rohit have great chemistry at the top.

India is still trying to find the perfect balance of pace and spin in the squad. All the players have shown quite brilliant performances in recent matches. However, the bowling will be led by pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, along with all-rounder Hardik Pandya as the third pacer. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav are automatic choices for India to turn the ball.

Moreover, the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin, who was a part of the winning squad for the 2011 World Cup, also brings some experience to the team. Meanwhile, star batsman Virat Kohli is back to his scoring ways, and if he keeps up with this form, he will most definitely break Sachin Tendulkar's all-time ODI century record.
