India-Australia 1st ODI to be played tomorrow

The seven-match One-day International series between India and Australia is being started tomorrow. The winners of the Champions Trophy and the world champions Australia are hopeful that they will be succeeded in defeating India on their home ground. Both teams are preparing for the first One-day International in full swing. The return of two of India's most explosive batsmen poses a threat to Australia's efforts to build on impressive recent form. Riding on the one-day form that has seen them win 11 of their past 12 one-day games, world champions Australia have arrived determined to avenge their loss at home in last year's tri-series to Mahendra Dhoni's India side. With the seven-match limited-overs series that begins Sunday in the western city of Vadodara, Australia captain Ricky Ponting is confident of reproducing the form that saw his team win six of seven matches against England this year and then defend its Champions Trophy title. While Indian captain got injury during the practice session but the doctors say he will be fit before the match.
