On October 8, the fifth game of the ongoing ICC Cricket World 2023 will take place between Australia vs. India. The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will host the high-stakes match.
The team captained by Rohit Sharma is very motivated going into the World Cup. After winning the Asia Cup for a record-tying ninth time, the Men in Blue defeated the Kangaroos 2-1 over the course of a three-match series. Meanwhile, weather forced the cancellation of both of their warm-up games.
Australia, on the other hand, defeated Pakistan in their second warm-up game. In the meantime, rain delays forced the cancellation of their match against the Netherlands in the middle. The Pat Cummins-led team lost the five-match series against South Africa before losing to India.

Most likely top performers:
Virat Kohli (India) is the likely best batter:
The former captain of India is in excellent shape and is anticipated to continue his recent performances in the team’s opening game of the ICC mega event. His finest performance came against Pakistan, when he hit 122* and formed an unbroken 233-run partnership with KL Rahul. He was outstanding for India in the continental competition.
Most likely Best Bowler:
Mohammed Siraj (India): In the forthcoming game, Mohammed Siraj might be India’s finest bowler. The right-armer, who finished with a career-best 6/21, was key for India in the Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka. He played the third ODI and took one wicket against Australia in the most recent series after sitting out the first two ODIs.
