On the other hand, India must be in a selection dilemma, with so many deserving options to choose from.

Let’s see who will have the last laugh from the 2 best teams in the world.

IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction

This is a tough call as both teams are among the top 3 in world cricket. Australia was doing great on their tour to South Africa, however, lost track at the end losing 3 games in a row. India, on the other hand, is winning series after series, with Asia Cup being the latest feather in its hat. Australia has an edge in head-to-head comparison, with a 3-2 lead in the last 5 games.

Having said this, India is looking very confident after winning the Asia Cup while Australia is having its key players struggling with injuries. Also, Indians are invincible on the home turf.

Overall, India looks well poised to win this encounter, especially in home conditions.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from Australia

Adam Zampa is the most consistent performer for Australia at the moment. He is taking wickets at will, with 12 wickets in the last 5 matches. Now, he is set to leave a mark in the IND vs AUS ODI series, thanks to Indian pitches that embrace wrist spinners with open arms.
