The three-match ODI series between India and Australia is starting on Friday, 22 September. Both the teams will face each other at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. India has a great chance to become the top-ranked team in ODIs. By winning the first ODI, Team India will defeat the Pakistan team captained by Babar Azam and reach the top position of the ODI rankings.
India is without many of their key stars including captain Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Virat Kohli for this match. In the absence of Rohit, KL Rahul will lead the Indian team. This series is also a chance for Shreyas Iyer to return to form before the World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, who were in excellent form in the Asia Cup, will lead India's bowling.
On the other hand, Australia would like to bounce back after losing the ODI series to South Africa. After winning the first two matches, the Australian team lost three consecutive matches by a margin of more than 100 runs. The Australian team will not get the services of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc for the opening match of the series. Pat Cummins, who missed the series against South Africa due to a wrist fracture, is ready to make a comeback.
What is the chance of rain in Mohali?
There is no chance of rain in Mohali on Friday. The conditions will be favorable for the game and a clear sky and bright sunny day will welcome the teams in Mohali.
