Australia vs India prediction
Whilst this has all the makings of a classic ODI series, the first match is under significant threat of a washout due to rain. Therefore, the sensible play to focus on the performances of individual players. All eyes will be on the integration of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma into the India line-up, but they are set to come up against an Australian bowling juggernaut.
Mitchell Starc’s left-arm thunderbolts are so often the catalyst for early wickets, with the new white ball likely to zip around early on. Starc’s pace always proves a shock to the system of opposition batters and backing him to pick up two wickets, even if the match should be rained off is a move well worth making.
Australia vs India tip: Mitchell Starc to take 2+ wickets
