Notably, Australia has won 16 matches on their home turf against India whereas India has registered victories on 4 occasions which displays Australia’s impressive track record at home. India’s first win on Australian soil in a bilateral series came during their last tour to Australia when they toured Australia for a multi-format series in September 2021. They chased down 265 securing a narrow 2-wicket victory over Australia but the host went on to win the series by 2-1.

Though Australia has been unbeatable, remaining undefeated in an ODI series against India, the question remains: Can India turn the tables this time, riding on the confidence of their recent successes?
