Starting in Mumbai from tomorrow, the imminent three-match ODI series between India and Australia will be the 14th bilateral ODI series between these two teams. The two stalwarts will be facing each other in this format 38 months after their last ODI series in India and more than 27 months after their last ODI series in Australia.

Although Australia have a significant lead over India in head-to-head ODI records, India have also done well when it comes to results of bilateral series. It is noteworthy that Australia have won seven as compared to six Indian series wins out of the previous 13 ODI series between these two fierce opponents.
Fans can expect the first ODI to be a ripper of a contest primarily because of Wankhede Stadium. A cricketing venue which has a knack of producing entertaining matches due to its nature of not letting the toss play a crucial role will be hosting its first match after a recently conducted renovation process.
“The wicket looks how it does throughout the year. I have been playing here for almost seven years. It is going to be challenging because this wicket will give equal opportunities to both the sides,” India stand-in captain Hardik Pandya told reporters during a pre-series press conference on the eve of the first match.
