AUS vs IND Today Match Prediction & Analysis (Who Will Win?)
Australia start the series as slight favourites due to home conditions and their strong pace attack suited for Perth’s bouncy wicket. Skipper Mitchell Marsh leads a dynamic batting unit featuring Travis Head’s explosiveness and the all-round balance of Cameron Green. Their bowlers; Starc, Hazlewood, and Zampa; continue to give Australia depth across formats.
India, under new captain Shubman Gill, arrived in great form after dominating global tournaments in 2025. The team’s top-order; Rohit Sharma, Kohli, and Gill; forms one of the strongest batting line-ups in world cricket. The middle order, with Rahul and Axar Patel, provides both stability and aggression. India’s pace attack, spearheaded by Mohammed Siraj and supported by Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, will look to exploit the seam-friendly conditions early on.
