Australia vs India 2018-19: 1st ODI, Sydney - Match Prediction

Australia vs India 2018-19: 1st ODI, Sydney – Match Prediction; After the longer version of the game, now, it’s time for some ODI cricket. Both sides will do their coloured jersey to fight tooth and nail in the upcoming 3 ODI games of the series. The visitors would like to extend their dominance while Australian side would like to take the revenge for the Test series loss.

Indians are in the glorious form:

India has been quite exceptional in the recent past, as everyone on the team is delivering the goods. The batting department looks quite solid while the bowlers also got into their zone to perform for Indian National Cricket Team.

On the other side, Australians are finding their best XI to take the field. However, playing at home would certainly boost them to make things happen for the team. This is also the best chance for youngsters in the side to get ICC World Cup 2019 ticket.

The Australian side will be quite different from the Test squad that lost out. Aaron Finch, who had a terrible Test series, will lead the side. There are quite a number of all-rounders that have been included in the squad, who will only add to the balance of the side.

Aaron Finch has got the best average against India:

They would be at least hoping to put up a strong show in the One Day matches. Finch would like to continue his good performances against India in the shorter format. While playing against India, he has an average of 51.88 in 16 innings.

So far, India has played 16 matches against Australia in Sydney and has won only two of them. However, one of those victories came last time out when the two sides faced off at Sydney, as India defeated Australia by six wickets.

The Men in Blue would be hoping to carry their current form to the ODI series and win it while Australia would want to show the gritty nature they are known for.

Match Prediction:

Seeing out a player to player comparison, Indian National Team has got the best chance to win the game. They have filled their batting order with proven players while the bowling looks solid, especially, the spin department. Unless any heroic act from the certain Australian, India will be drawing the first blood of the series.
