IND vs AUS ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
India go head to head with Australia in Match 5 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup and arguably the biggest game in the tournament so far. The MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai will host this g🌄ame on Sunday in front of what is likely to be a massive crowd. Both sides reached the semi-final of the 2019 Cricket World Cup before being beaten by New Zealand and England respectively. Read on as we preview this match. The day-night fixture gets underway at 14:00 local time.
India are favourites to win the tournament on their home soil and come into♔ this competition in excellent form. With a recent series victory over Australia, we expect them to be too strong in this opening match of the campaign for both sides.
Australia have been a tough team to predict over Sept🍰ember as they raced into a 2-0 lead away in South Africa before surrendering the series only to immediately go 2-0 down to India before winning the final ODI. However, they have some experienced top players who will be ready t🌠o perform in this Cricket World Cup.

IND vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch in Chennai at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is likely to produce an excellent contest between bat and ball. We expect a turning surface🐈 with a par score likely to be no higher than 320.

Chennai Weather Report
The weather fo🔯recast to remain very constant throughout this ODI in Chennai. The temperature wil♍l be above 30 degrees from the start to the finish of this fixture.
