IND vs AUS ODI: Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first against India

Australia won the toss in the ODI series opener against India, and decided to bowl first against the visitors.

India’s while-ball tour of Australia begins today with an ODI match, with the hosts winning the toss and deciding to bowl first against the Men in Blue. The match is under a threat of constant rain, but the weather at the time of the coin flip was nice and looking clear.

However, there is no guarantee of when and how the situation might turn south. At the toss, Australian captain Mitchell Marsh was positive on his team giving out a great show for the spectators.

“We’re going to bowl first. It looks like a pretty good wicket, hopefully it’s hard and fast. There’s a little bit of moisture around, so hopefully we can make the most of that today. It’s always a huge honour to captain the country, but to do it in front of a somewhat home crowd, it’s always exciting,” Mitchell Marsh said after winning the toss.

Australia’s playing XI:
Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh(c), Matthew Short, Josh Philippe(w), Matt Renshaw, Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Owen, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Josh Hazlewood

India’s playing XI:
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh
