Indian bowling has been spot on from the first ball. Indian fielding has been excellent today. The pressure created by the Indian team on the Australian batters is visible with their CRR which is below 4 now. Only 15 more overs left to bowl and I expect Australian batters would now try to open their hands as they are hardly able to get the ones or two. With this rate they would be able to give a target of 199 or 220 runs to India.
Edit: Maxwel bowled by Kuldeep.

The odds suggest that India will win this match.
It's Chennai and spinners love bowling here and India most likely opt for 3 spinners (Ash-Jaddu-Kuldeep) and 3 seam options (Pandaya-Siraj-Bumrah) attack. Gill absence is a setback as he was in good form but Kishan should be okay at the top. Australians are a beast in the ICC tournament but their spin department looks weak compared to the Indians. Zampa is good but the current Indian middle order is good against spin. Also not sure how Maxwell will perform with a ball, guess he's the 2nd spin option for them. Their seamers have to do a lot of heavy lifting here and they would be hoping for some good outings for Green as well.
Both sides are loaded with batting talent so looks pretty even contest with the bat. In the bowling department, Indians have an edge so they are slightly favorite.
The pitch is not good for the batsmen. Bowlers get good advantage. Also the batsmen can play a bit better in the first innings. Gradually the pitch became more bowling friendly. So I think the decision to bat will win the toss is right.
Australia quickly lost the wicket of their opener Marsh. The two batsmen at the crease, Warner and Smith, are also finding it difficult to score runs. Indian bowlers are bowling very well. Australia collected only 32 runs in 8 overs. But the Australian batsmen should now try to stay at the crease. If they don't lose quick wickets, they will be able to collect big. Australia can control the match if they provide a target of 280-300. But it is very difficult to give a target of more than 280 on this pitch.

Aussies are going with strategy. They are not going after bowlers and not giving away there wickets. After 16 overs Aussies are steady with 73/1, Warner and Smith are well set. India need wickets because if Smith and Warner kept going like that then there is possibility that Australia may give a huge target to India. India defiantly will not like a target above 300.

According to the pitch report, this is a spin bowling pitch, and I think there will be some help for the fast bowler early on. The team winning the toss will bat first on this pitch. A score of 270 will be at par. It will be interesting to see how the batter tackles spin bowling. India has very good spinners, and Australia has Zampa. Maxwell is their second bowling option. India is the hot favourite in this contest. Kuldeep will be the key, but Australia has the ability to beat any team on any pitch. Let's see how the match progresses. Australia will be looking to attack Indian spinners.
Update: Australia won the toss and decided to bat first.
Update: Australia won the toss and decided to bat first.
I had predicted earlier that the team that wins the toss would choose to bat first. Chennai Stadium has always been good for spinners, India has three spinners and two seamers. If Shiraz and Bhumrah can get a couple of wickets in the first 10 overs then the Australian team will be under pressure. The rest can be taken care of by spinners, a good target for the Indian team would be anything above 280 to defend. The stadium looks far better today than what it has been in the matches played before today.
Do not forget Australia has been the most successful team in ICC World Cup.

The odds suggest that India will win this match. They are playing on their home ground and i also fancy their chances more in this match.
Today is Sunday, a holiday in India and everywhere, would expect a packed crowd (over 30,000 People) at Chennai stadium and over a billion population in India watching their first ODI match in the World Cup, I hope India won't disappoint this big audience.

You can expect a full house today because it is a Sunday. Ishan Kishan will get another opportunity to open the batting due to Shubhman Gill's sickness. He is also known for his aggressive approach from the first ball. I am certain that the team that wins the toss would try to bat first as the team that has batted first has won more games than the team that has chosen to bowl first.
Today is an amazing match India vs Australia. The match will start in an hour. The players of both teams are amazing, India has Jasprit Bumrah and Australia has Mitchell Starc, and Rohit Sharma (Hit-man) vs David Warner.
India has very amazing bowlers, we saw their bowling in the final match of Asia Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka. The pitches refer to the spinners, and both teams have just normal spinners. This is a big match.

ICC WORLD CUP 2023 FIFTH MATCH

The fifth match of the World Cup will be played today at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. Shubhman Gill will not be playing this match as he is suffering from dengue. Ishan Kishan would be replacing him in the batting order in all likely cases. India are the favourite to win the match against Australia.
Betting Odds
India - 1.66
Australia - 2.22
Which team do you think will win today? Any guesses?
Today, India will face Australia, this promises to be a great and exciting match. I hope we will get a bigger crowd today.
I think the team chasing will have a significant advantage. There is a 64% win rate advantage for the chaser at this venue. So whoever wins the toss would like to ball first.
Two tough opponents will go head-to-head today on Super Sunday. 2015 World Cup winning team Australia will fight against hosts India. I think Australia and India are the toughest opponents in this World Cup tournament. There is no chance to give any team an early lead in this match but according to the recent performances and the performance of the last ODI series, India will definitely have a slight lead in this match. Another plus point for India in this match is that the gallery filled fans will support India and they will shout India India which will motivate India to do well in this match. I think the team chasing will have a significant advantage. There is a 64% win rate advantage for the chaser at this venue. So whoever wins the toss would like to ball first.
India have come to Australia to win Mission Hexa, so they will definitely want to start the tournament with a win in the first match.
South Africa was exceptional against Sri Lanka in the match. They batted with intent despite a loss of an early wicket. The pitch was way too flat than expected; nothing was there in the pitch for the bowlers. Here are a few records that were made in the last game.
> Highest ever ODI World Cup total: 428/5
> Fastest ODI World Cup century: Markram (49 balls 100)
> Most centuries in an ODI World Cup innings: 3 (De Kock (100), van der Dussen (108) and Markram (106)
> Highest aggregate of runs scored in an ODI World Cup match: 754

It’s time for India vs Australia. The match, that every Indian fan was waiting for. India haven’t played a single practice match in this world cup. Hence Today’s match will be the real first game for the team. With this they have also a bad news that Subhman Gill won’t play the first match due to Dengue. Now I guess Ishan will open with Rohit and we will see both Shreyas and KL in middle order. Moreover as the match is in Chennai so Indian team and Rohit Sharma will prefer extra spinner in the squad. So Ashwin will definitely play today’s match. Now let’s hope for the best. How Indian Batsmen gonna tackle Mitchell Starc, we will see that.
The afghans were playing well and I thought they would score at least three hundred runs. The pitch was batting-friendly and their start wasn't bad at all. But they collapsed too early from 110/2 to 156/10. That was unexpected. I was kinda surprised when I saw the scorecard after the first innings. They lost their wickets constantly.
Anyway, I always have doubts about the ability of Bangladeshi batters. I don't want to believe that they will win the match that easily. They have records that make such an easy match to a hard game. Congratulations to them as they managed to win the match already.

Afghanistan started their innings very well. They lost their first wicket for 47 runs and their second wicket for 87 runs. Their run rate was quite good. They collected 100 runs and lost only two wickets. But even after that, the Bangladeshi bowlers' rampage started. Shakib destroys Afghanistan's top order. And Miraz, Taskin and Shariful did not allow any of Afghanistan's middle order players to stay at the crease for long. Today I saw the performance of Bangladesh bowlers. Spinners got 7 wickets. But I will say that the pace bowling attack of Bangladesh has improved as much as it is commendable.
Bangladesh batted at a low target. Even then Bangladesh's two openers failed. Both the openers must bat responsibly. Otherwise Bangladesh will not be able to collect big against any big team.
Fazal Haque Farooqui said Liton Das's dismissal was really unexpected, the kind of dismissal that happens when a player has no confidence in himself. Many off-stump balls hit the inside of the batsman's bat and hit the stumps, professional batsmen rarely make such outs.
The next match is against England who are much stronger than Afghanistan and whose batting line is much stronger so the two opening batsmen have to give a good start only then Bangladesh can dream of winning against England.
The lack of crowds has been extremely disappointing in this World Cup. I am sure everyone was expecting a lot more people than this.
People are losing interest in the 50 overs formats, especially in a country like India, where everyone is crazy for T20. Another reason is the games are starting in the Afternoon when the temperature is high. By evening the stadium looks better than afternoon when crowds do come in to watch the matches.
The match between South Africa and Sri Lanka is going to be another waste of time. The way Srilankans are bowling South Africa might score more than 400 runs. It is very bad to see how Srilankan cricket has deteriorated in just a few years. They were once a team that had bowlers like Vaas and Murlitharan, now they do not have bowlers who are anything near to the legends.
I have already replied to this before. I think its cursory and false to look at this in binaries, sure people are losing interest. But could things have been improved? Absolutely.
Cheaper tickets, better marketing, skillful handling of the visa issuing situation to foreign travelers etc.
South Africa looks a very strong team in this World Cup. They have an excellent batting and bowling line up. They have always been known to squander chances, but I think this time they can make a deep run.
As expected, SA won the match by 102 run, Sri Lanka fought back to some level and managed to bring the score as closest as possible because at one point it's evident that they are going to lose by margin of 200 but with 100 they can say that they recovered from huge fall in the NRR which may hurt at the tournament progress.
After South Africa set a huge target of 429 runs I thought they would win this match by at least 200 runs. But Sri Lankan batsmen played very well. In the end, the team was able to collect a huge score of 326 runs. Sri Lanka's two openers did not play well today by batting against a big target. But almost every player in their middle order played very well. And they managed to collect a huge collection of 326. So far I feel that New Zealand, South Africa and India have the right squads to qualify for the semi-finals. I am almost certain that we will see these three teams in the semi-finals. Which other team will qualify for the semi-finals cannot be predicted with certainty.

I would love to see South Africa in the semi-finals though but even today their bowling unit is not really up to the standards so if they want to be in that position then they need to work on that department.
By the way, SA fielding performance was too poor in today's match.
I have no doubt that England and Australia are very strong. But I have seen the performance of England players against New Zealand. And I was very disappointed with this match. Despite having so many talented players in England's squad, their performances were poor. The performance of England's bowlers as well as the batsmen has left me very disappointed. On the other hand, the performance of the Australian players is also somewhat erratic. But I'm not saying they can't qualify for the semi-finals. My guess is that we will probably see one of these two teams in the semi-finals.
South Africa batted well, but their bowlers did not perform well. And if the bowlers fail to improve on such performances, they will face a tough challenge against the big teams in the coming matches.
