India is going to take on Australia in a 7-match ODI series at home starting from 25 October 2009. Australia is confident after winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2009, while India would look to bounce back strongly against Australia in their attempt to compensate for their poor show in Champions Trophy. Australia can take inspiration from their previous ODI series in India as they clinched the 7-match ODI series 4-2.

India’s limited over performance in the recent past does not look pretty impressive. First of all, India was crushed out of ICC World Twenty20 2009 and then last month India failed to reach the last four of ICC Champions Trophy 2009. Naturally, Indian cricket fans are annoyed and now expecting a strong performance from team India.

The battle lines have been drawn between the teams and see them fight it out - nothing beats a day at the one day cricket!

The fifth ODI between India and Australia will be played on 5th November 2009 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad.
