India vs Australia 1st ODI Live Score: Toil for bowlers as Finch, Warner get off to solid start in Sydney
Sydney, November 27: India mark their return to international cricket action against the might of a menacing Australia in the first ODI at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Friday (November 27).
While Virat Kohli’s men will kick-start their international calendar in a series where a lot of probing questions are expected to be asked, Aaron Finch-led Australia will be involved in their second international assignment after the COVID-enforced international break.
India will have to contend with the absence of an injured Rohit Sharma as it certainly leaves a gaping hole at the top of the order, something that skipper Kohli wouldn’t have fancied at the onset of a gruelling two-month tour.
Australia, meanwhile, have a full strength side bar the absence of all-rounder Mitch Marsh. But have plenty of cover in the form of Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell.

Pitch Report: Brendon Julian and Mark Waugh say there is a good covering of grass, but due to the lack of shine on the wicket, it won’t be that quick. They also feel if the team bats first, they will need to score high as it’s difficult to defend.
