The 50-over World Cup stands as cricket's paramount event, a sentiment echoed by Rohit Sharma. As we are four matches into the tournament, the fervour is set to intensify this Sunday in Chennai. It marks India's debut match in this home World Cup, and with them being the favourites, the weight of expectations is palpable. The atmosphere will be charged, reflecting both anticipation and underlying anxiety.

Venue Insights

The M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, rich with heritage and tradition, has recently been refurbished. Among its notable features are murals that celebrate the game's iconic moments, including the unexpected portrayal of Pakistan's victory lap in 1999. This showcases Chepauk's unbiased crowd, known for appreciating commendable cricket, irrespective of which team is playing. Sunday promises to be electric, reflecting the importance of the match and the audience's passion.

Form Guide - India

India's performance has seen varied results leading up to this pivotal match, with their last five ODIs registering as LWWWL. Their inaugural game is against Australia, marking a challenging start. Given the significance of this opener, India's resolve will be tested as they look to establish dominance early in the tournament.

Form Guide - Australia

Australia's recent outings reveal a more challenging trajectory with a form guide of WLLLL. This indicates the Aussies' eagerness to overturn their recent form and make a dominant start. While this Australian side differs from the teams of 1999, 2003, or 2007, they remain contenders, showcasing their persistent World Cup prowess.

Players to Watch

For India, Hardik Pandya stands out. More than his batting prowess, his significance in terms of a genuine third seamer in white-ball cricket provides India with a strategic advantage. On the Australian side, Glenn Maxwell's evolution into an authentic ODI all-rounder makes him a crucial player, especially on a pitch like Chepauk that's expected to favour spin.

Team Composition

India's team selection faces potential adjustments due to health and pitch conditions. Shubman Gill, battling dengue, might give way to Ishan Kishan as the opener. Australia has its concerns, as Marcus Stoinis is recovering from a hamstring injury, which might lead to Cameron Green filling his all-rounder role. Given the Chepauk pitch's nature, both teams might lean more towards spinners, adjusting their lineups accordingly.

Pitch and Weather Report

Chepauk's pitch, known for maintaining a balance between bat and ball, is anticipated to favour spinners due to its dryness. Recent matches have shown first-inning scores ranging from 227 to 299, hinting at a competitive game ahead. The weather is predicted to be humid, and with the northeast monsoon active, sporadic evening showers might make an appearance.

Predicted Line-ups
