IND Vs AUS: Harbhajan Singh Gives India 60% Chance Of Winning Against Australia In World Cup!

Harbhajan Singh believes that Team India is in a favorable position to win their opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Australia. He points out that the Men in Blue will enter the game with confidence, having recently triumphed in the Asia Cup 2023 and clinched the ODI series against Australia ahead of the ICC event. This high-stakes encounter is set to take place at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday, October 8.

Harbhajan Singh emphasized that India’s recent form has been impressive, particularly highlighting their success against Australia in the ODI series, where they secured a 2-1 victory. Additionally, Team India’s triumph in the Asia Cup has bolstered their confidence.

“It is 60-40 in India’s favour. India has played some very good cricket in the recent past. A young Indian team did very well against Australia in the ODI series, winning 2-1. The team also won the Asia Cup. So, they will be very confident at the moment,” Harbhajan expressed in his latest YouTube video.

It’s worth noting that Team India claimed back-to-back wins in the first two ODIs of their home series against Australia, while the visitors managed to salvage some pride with a 66-run consolation win in the third and final match.

Harbhajan Singh Thinks Spin-Friendly Conditions Will Give An Advantage To India

In his video, Harbhajan Singh further elaborated on why India has an edge over Australia in Chennai, given the spin-friendly conditions at the venue. He pointed out that the match’s location at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is a significant advantage for Rohit Sharma and his team.

Harbhajan commented, “India has a very big advantage as the match is taking place in Chennai. The wicket over there will be slow. However, the good thing for batters will be the bounce. The bounce will be quite good. I don’t think there could have been a better venue for India’s first match.”

However, Australia have had an edge over India in World Cup matches. Australia and India have played 12 matches against each other in World Cups where Australia have beaten India on eight occasions and India has managed to secure a win four times against the mighty Aussies.

Australia were recently defeated by India in the bilateral ODI series played last month and they are hungry for revenge. India will be looking to get the maximum momentum early on in the tournament so they can adjust if they get a few setbacks ahead. The battle of blue and yellow will be something to watch out for.

The highly anticipated clash between India and Australia will be commencing at 2:00 p.m. IST. Both teams are eager to kick off the tournament with a victory, promising an intense and closely contested battle.
