Overview
- India face Australia on October 12 at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, with play scheduled from 3 PM IST on Star Sports and streaming on Hotstar in India.
- Australia enter as defending champions and remain unbeaten in this tournament with two wins and one washout, with local reports noting an ongoing 11-match World Cup winning streak.
- India seek a response after losing to South Africa, with scrutiny on a misfiring top order that outlets say has produced a low average for the top five so far.
- Healy said batting stumbles are not a concern and emphasized Australia’s strength-in-depth, while calling for the top order to lay a platform against the hosts.
- The fixture is sold out with 15,087 tickets gone, and forecasts suggest a modest chance of evening rain and dew that could influence tactics at the toss.
