Over-by-over report: Preparations for next month’s World Cup continue as India and Australia meet in Mohali. Join our writers for updates
Hello and welcome to this delightful little ODI series, getting us all ready for the World Cup. With the weather in this part of the world really heating up lately it seems like the perfect time for cricket – I hope you’ve got some cricket appropriate weather where you are too.
Australia are preparing for their opening World Cup match against India by playing against India, which seems like ideal preparation in all honesty. In fact, in the next 16 days they will play India four times, so they will hopefully have the hang of it by the time they get to the end of that. India are resting a few of their star players for the first two games of this series, so it won’t be a full strength side we see just yet, while Australia has some injury concerns coming off the series against South Africa. We’ll dig into both teams in just a minute.
Hopefully we’ve got ourselves a thrilling series coming up, so strap yourselves in and get ready for game one!
