India vs Australia Head to Head Record: Cricket is quite a unique sport. It originated in England centuries ago, Australia is the most accomplished cricket-playing nation, and the Indian subcontinent is where the sport is most popular.
There are many big rivalries as well in cricket. One less-talked-about rivalry is between India and Australia. The two teams are always ranked among the top 5 in the world and have faced each other on dozens of important occasions. India has lost many ICC tournament finals and semi-finals to Australia, including the 2003 and 2023 World Cup finals.
In the 2023 World Cup, India’s first game was against Australia on October 8. After a brief scare in the second innings, India managed to chase the easy 200-run target. Australia then lost to South Africa by a huge margin but bounced back to remain unbeaten in 8 consecutive games and made it to the finals.
India's close yet important win in the first match was great for team morale, while Australia's loss definitely served as a wake-up call for the five-time champs.
While the confidence and home crowd advantage were India's strengths to win in the final, Australia, impeccable fielding and overall effort in batting and bowling were just terrific. The Aussies are quite dominant in the high-pressure games as they proved yet again, routing the surging India in the 2023 ODI World Cup Final.
Today, we take a look at India and Australia’s head-to-head record in the World Cup and across other cricket formats ahead of their much-anticipated clash in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.
