IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction Today With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023 For Match 5

IND vs AUS: Australia will lock horns against India in Match 5 of the ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023 on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Team India is gearing up for their first ICC World Cup 2023 match, and they are hungry for a victory to kickstart the tournament. However, just before the big game, they got hit hard with the news that star opener Shubman Gill, who has been on fire and leading the ODI run charts this year, will not be able to play due to dengue.

Chances are pretty good that Ishan Kishan will step up to the plate and open alongside Rohit Sharma after Shubman Gill’s setback. Team India looks like a powerhouse on paper, and they have proved it by winning the recent three-match ODI series against Australia with a 2-1 scoreline.

However, it’s important not to underestimate Australia as they have the knack for dismantling teams when they are in their element. We saw this in the third ODI at Rajkot, where they gave Team India no room to breathe.

The way David Warner has been batting, with three consecutive half-centuries in the recent ODI series against India, is a massive boost for Australia heading into the World Cup. In addition to him, players like Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, and others are eager to make their mark and start the World Cup on a high note.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for Match 5 of ICC Cricket World Cup, 2023.
