Australia are set to take on India in a three-match ODI series, with the first match scheduled at Perth Stadium on Sunday, October 19.
Australia endured a disappointing campaign in the 50-over format this year, losing all their series. Mitchell Marsh will lead the team, which includes premier pacers Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, along with top-order batter Travis Head. The squad will be looking to turn things around and secure a series win.
Meanwhile, the visitors have remained unbeaten in ODIs this year and will aim to continue their strong form. Shubman Gill will captain India in ODIs for the first time, with experienced campaigners Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Mohammed Siraj in the squad. India will look to start the series on a positive note.

Perth Stadium — Pitch Report
The Perth Stadium generally favours pacers, offering extra bounce that can challenge batters. The batters need to be cautious as the extra bounce increases the likelihood of edges. Spinners typically receive minimal assistance from the pitch, so they will need to bowl with control and patience to be effective.
