India will take on Australia in the 1st ODI of the 3-match series at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Friday (17 March) afternoon.

After a closely fought and entertaining Test series, both teams will shift their focus to the ODIs, preparing for the ODI World Cup later in 2023. The Indian team is unbeaten in ODIs in 2023, recently beating New Zealand and Sri Lanka by 3-0 at home. Captain Rohit Sharma is not available for the first ODI.

On the other hand, Australia have won 8 of their last 9 ODIs played (against Zimbabwe, New Zealand, and England). Before that, they lost the ODI series played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, winning 3 out of the 8 matches. Steve Smith will captain the team in the absence of Pat Cummins.
