Yeah, Australia will score over 300 runs today. I hope they will be able to give more than 315 runs target.
If Pnadya is only included in the team as a batsman, then it is foolish decision for the Indian team management. Pandya is definitely a good finisher. But many better Batman than him is sitting on the bench. I thought Pandya was included in the team as an all-rounder.
Australia will win the match easily and the start they got, 156 runs opening partnership and still going strong and i am hoping Australia could score well above 330 runs because they have wickets in hand and they have some clean hitters of the ball. Hardik Pandya is in the team as a batsman and not an allrounder. He did not bowl a single ball in the IPL and how can you expect him to be bowling in today's match.
Keep calm mate. If Australia give a target to India on 300 runs, then India has the potential to win the match. India have some great batsmen. The Indian team today has 5 batsmen and 2 allrounders. All the 5 batsmen in India are in great form. Everyone played very well in the IPL. I think the match is still unpredictable.

David warner out after scoring 69 runs .This is the wicket India so desperately needed and Shami gives them breakthrough. But India need more wickets to get back into this game otherwise Aus will put 330-350 runs in the scoreboard as they have really good batting line up. Chasing 300+ runs vs Aus at their home is really hard.

Good timing, Australia lost the first wicket finally  Cheesy. India had a bad start but if they are able to pick wickets then they can bounce back. I am not happy with the Indian batting line up and if there is a huge total to chase i doubt these players could chase.

Hardik Pandya is in the team as a batsman and not an allrounder. He did not bowl a single ball in the IPL and how can you expect him to be bowling in today's match.
He is injury prone and if he bowls that could put him in the shelf for the next 6 months Grin.

The odds are heavily favoring Australia and after looking at the playing eleven India have included all the inform players in the recent IPL and the pitch looks flat.

LOL... India finally got a wicket. Virat Kohli was getting restless up there and had asked Mohammad Shami to bowl against Warner and Finch. Shami did his job and got Warner. Now the advantage for India is that they got two right-handed batsmen at the crease (Smith and Finch). And also, Smith takes a bit of time initially to settle in and this gives Kohli some breathing space to bring back Saini and Bumrah.

Australia is scoring at a brisk rate now. They should, as the opening pair is at the crease. The Indian bowlers are really struggling (apart from Mohammad Shami). The pacers are struggling with their line and length, especially Navdeep Saini. On top of that Yuzvendra Chahal is unable to get much turn from the pitch. Indian captain looks frustrated and he has now brought in Shami.

Thanks to all. @pakhitheboss ,@Vishnu.Reang and @onecall123 thanks mate.I watched the game on Sony LIV. And it's free. I just logged in with my Gmail and can enjoy the match for free.
Here is the link - https://www.sonyliv.com/sports/india-tour-of-australia-2020-21-1700000286/cricket-1st-odi-27-nov-2020-1000096958?watch=true

Confused about this. SONY LIV is not free. You need a subscription to watch full matches. May be for the first 10 or 15 minutes they may allow you to watch the stream for free.

I still believe that the inclusion of Pandya was a positive move. India needs someone who could score at a rate of 2 runs per ball during the final overs. Hardik suits that role better than anyone else. Theoretically, you can argue that Shubman Gill or Sanju Samson could have done a better job. But both these batsmen are more suitable for the top order, and they don't have much international experience.

300+ score coming..

Is Hardik Pandaya playing as all rounder or specialist batsman? Not sure why selectors giving him chances when he's not fit to ball any single over. He's considered all rounder, right? Fair amount of good specialist batsmen are sitting out and warming the bench because of Pandaya.

At this rate, 300 should not be a problem for Australia. David Warner is not getting much of the strike as Finch is chewing up a lot of balls. For India, if they can tempt Warner to play a rash shot, then it may give them an opening. But for now, both the batsmen seems to be at ease and the spinners are not troubling them much (Ravindra Jadeja & Yuzvendra Chahal). India needs to break this partnership.

For watching the match live online lots of option out there, Live Streaming Apps is like very affordable, however for Indian customers Hotstar VIP could be best solution. Free and premium soccer streaming sites, like on SonyLiv. Australia and India's ODI series are taking place on 27th of November means today so prepare and you can utilize VPN if necessary.

Nope. Hotstar is not covering this series. I believe they have a partnership with Star Sports. When Star Sports have the TV rights for a particular series, Hotstar will get the online streaming rights. But this series is being covered by SONY-TEN, who have their own streaming platform (SONY-LIV). I watched the IPL on Hotstar, and their coverage was good. Never tried SONY LIV, but I have heard that their quality is good as well.

India has arranged a squad very well. We all know the Australian pitch is more suitable for pace bowlers. They have 3 pacers in the squad. Although Saini is less experienced, I hope she will not disappoint us.
Can you tell me, where I can watch the match live online?

There is another option to view this match on Sony LIV. If you have Flipkart super coins then you can redeem them to watch this streaming platform for a month. I did it to watch few webseries last month. I exactly do not remember how many super coins you need but it was somewhere in the range of  200- 300.

If you take one month subscription, then you may need to renew it once, as the test match series will be played in December-January. But the rates look reasonable for me. Anyway, for those who can't afford even these rates, they always have the option of watching them on JioTV.

BTW, Australia is off to a very good start. Shami has started well for India, but Bumrah and Saini are yet to find their proper line and length. Both Warner and Finch looking confident against the pacers. I believe a score in excess of 300 is in offer here.

Depends on the country. If you are a resident of India, then you can watch the action live on JioTV (you need to have a JIO mobile connection). JioTV is 100% free and you can just login using the Jio mobile number (either prepaid or postpaid). A paid stream is available from Sony LIV as well (subscription will cost you ₹999 for 12 months). For the other countries, I am not sure who are holding the rights to stream the matches.

And it begins..

Australia won the toss and opt to bat first. Average score is 310 so we could except high scoring games unless Indians bowling exceptionally well.

Quote
Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch(c), David Warner, Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

India (Playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, Navdeep Saini, Jasprit Bumrah

WoW!!! Waiting for so many months and finally we can witness some high quality action live on TV (for me live on my laptop screen). I can see that India have opted for Bumrah/Shami/Saini. Very strong pace attack, but still I want to see how Saini (the least experienced of the bowlers) perform in Australia against top quality batsmen. This is a big test for him.

I can't wait for the first ODI match between Australia and India to start as we'll finally see fans back at the stadiums watching cricket again even though it will be in limited numbers but at least there will be some fans able to go. I'm hoping we see a great match between two of the top teams.
Are they allowing audience for the ODI as well, i thought they are allowing audience for the boxing day Test which is a tradition in Australia and if there are allowing audience now i do not think that would be a great idea considering the rise in cases in Australia and it is impossible to test each and everyone in the audience and it is an expensive endeavor if they do that .
I am really surprised after reading this news Australians allowing crowd for this series because right now its going to be create some serious issues for them but they still taking this risk hopefully works for them https://crickettimes.com/2020/11/crowd-capacities-for-australia-vs-india-matches-confirmed/

Why surprised about this?

The football season just finished here and they had crowds at the games because the virus is under control here unlike the rest of the world. Daily cases here are very low and most are from people returning from overseas and are in hotel quarantine so I'm sure it will be safe or the Australian government wouldn't allow this.

If cricket is included then i would like the ICC to follow the FIFA rules where they have players that are young and three players above that age and since it is a global event you need to have the best representation possible to introduce the game to the larger audience and thereby create interest and if cricket is including i am sure many teams will give importance to cricket to win a medal.

I am pretty sure that it is not going to happen in my lifetime. There have been various delaying tactics from the ICC, to prevent the inclusion of cricket in the Olympics. The real problem is that the ICC is headed by money-minded businessmen such as Greg Barclay, who have no background of cricket. On the other hand, FIFA is headed by former international players, who always think about increasing the popularity of the game. Inclusion of cricket in Olympics would result in huge spike in popularity and government funding. But for now the ICC is not interested in those things.

Obviously no one really expect cricket boards to field their full-strength sides, if cricket is ever included in the Olympics. I would prefer the format approved by FIFA for Olympics football tournament. They have a maximum age limit of 23 years (which has been extended to 24 for the Tokyo Olympics). This would mean that younger players will get the opportunity to showcase their skills, in front of large audiences. However, FIFA allows three over-age players in the playing XI for each team.
