Ind vs Aus 2019: Australia's predicted playing XI for the 1st ODI

Spinner- Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa is expected to retain his place as a spinner in the side as he bowled economically and with control against very good batsmen. Zampa's tendency to bowl flippers rather than turn the ball will be supported by the Hyderabad pitch which doesn't offer too much turn. He has had the number of many of India's top batsmen and should be given a chance to play in the ODIs and should get the nod ahead of Nathan Lyon.

Fast Bowlers- Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson and Jason Behrendorff

Jhye Richardson will be a key player for Australia

Pat Cummins was hailed as the No.1 bowler in the Australian side and he has had a decent start to the tour of India. After bowling with great control in the first match, he was taken apart by the likes of Rahul, Kohli and Dhoni in the 2nd game. He was one bowler who troubled India when they toured Australia and he will look to do the same here.

Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson seem most likely to board the bus for the WC for Australia along with their star pace bowling trio. With Starc and Hazlewood rested, the two pacers should get chances to play in all kinds of conditions.
