The much-awaited India vs Australia ODI series will begin on October 19 at the Perth Stadium. India will start as favorites to win the first ODI because Australia have never won an ODI at the new venue in Perth. On top of that, the home team will have to manage without their regular captain Pat Cummins in this series.

The India vs Australia rivalry has entertained cricket fans a lot in the last decade. In 2023, the two teams competed in the ODI World Cup Final, where Australia ended India's undefeated streak and became the world champions. Two years later, India knocked Australia out of the 2025 Champions Trophy by defeating them in the semifinals.

A new chapter will be written in this iconic rivalry over the next few days. Ahead of the first ODI, here's a glance at some key things to know about the big game in Perth.
