    What's the story

    Days after winning the 2023 Asia Cup, India will lock horns with Australia in a three-match ODI series at home.

    It will be a pre-World Cup battle for the two sides ahead of the all-important tournament, starting October 5.

    Mohali, Indore, and Saurashtra will host the three ODIs on September 22, 24, and 27, respectively.

    Here is a preview of the 1st ODI.

    Details

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details 

    The Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali, will host the 1st ODI. The track here is usually favorable for both batting and bowling.

    Notably, the stadium last hosted an ODI in 2019. Australia chased down a mammoth 359 against India in that match.

    The upcoming match will be telecast live on Sports18 channels (1:30 PM IST) and live-streamed on JioCinema.

    In India as well, Australia have a 32-30 lead over the Men in Blue in ODI cricket (5 NR).

    Notably, India have lost three of their last four ODI series against Australia.
