AUS Vs IND Match Prediction: After these two teams played out a memorable ODI series, the first Australia vs India T20I was washed out due to rain. So, this match becomes the de facto series opener.

The Australian Cricket Team has been in fine form this year. In the first six months or so, they lost out on two ICC trophies. First, they lost in the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final to India, before losing the World Test Championship 2025 final. However, since then, they have been in solid form, thrashing the West Indies in a three-match Test series 3-0 and a T20I series 5-0. This was followed by a win in T20Is against South Africa and a loss in T20Is to the Proteas. A 2-0 T20I win against New Zealand was next. Most recently, the Kangaroos beat India 2-1 in the recent 2-1 T20I series.

Meanwhile, the Indian Cricket Team has been in excellent form this year. They started 2025 with a win in CT 2025, then they played a memorable Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in England against the Three Lions, which ended in a 2-2 draw where the two teams were shoulder to shoulder. Recently, not only did they win the 2025 Asia Cup without losing a single match in the competition, but they have also defeated the West Indies in a two-Test series 2-0. However, they lost the ODI series to Australia before this one.

AUS Vs IND Final MCG Pitch Report

One of the most iconic cricket grounds in the world, the pitches at the MCG have historically been one for the pacers. The leather bounces well here, which might allow the ball to come onto the bat later in an inning, when the pitch softens. However, for the top order, a hard deck means trouble, especially in front of the well-rounded pace attacks these two teams possess. However, once settled, a batter can score big here if they take their innings deep. As for the boundary dimensions, the straight boundary here is long, about 80m in length, while the side boundary is 72-74m away from the batter.
