Get ready, cricket fans! The fiery rivalry between Australia and India lights up again as these titans meet for the first One-Day International (ODI) of a thrilling three-match series this Sunday. After a smashing home Test series win against West Indies, India's new ODI captain Shubman Gill shifts his focus to the white-ball battles. India enters this series brimming with confidence, fresh off a Champions Trophy win against New Zealand in March. Australia's side, despite a recent series loss to South Africa, showed their true mettle by smashing a 276-run win in their last ODI match. This mix of seasoned pros and fiery young blood is ready to start the series with a bang! Wondering how to catch the action live in the United States? The game will air exclusively on Willow TV!

Key players Josh Inglis, Alex Carey, and Adam Zampa will miss the opener due to injuries and other reasons. Inglis’s spot goes to Josh Philippe, returning to ODI cricket after four years. Matthew Kuhnemann replaces Zampa, and Mitchell Owen is all set to debut thanks to his recovery from concussion protocols. Marnus Labuschagne steps in for the injured Cameron Green. The Aussie pace attack is led by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, ready to roar on home soil. India's lineup brings a new twist with Shubman Gill replacing Rohit Sharma as ODI captain. The legendary Virat Kohli returns after last playing in the Champions Trophy, and might be touring Australia for the last time in ODIs alongside Rohit. India faces a challenge though — star all-rounder Hardik Pandya is out with a quad injury, likely opening a debut spot for Nitish Kumar Reddy. With Jasprit Bumrah only in the T20 squad, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and Prasidh Krishna will lead the bowling, supported by spin wizard Kuldeep Yadav. Predicted Australia XI includes Mitch Marsh (c), Travis Head, Matthew Renshaw, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Philippe (wk), Mitch Owen, Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, and Matthew Kuhnemann. Predicted India XI looks like: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, and Mohammed Siraj.
