Australia Start Favourites In World Cup Dress Rehearsal Series vs India: Suresh Raina

Australia’s batting flexibility and their familiarity with Indian conditions will give them the “upper hand” in their three-match dress rehearsal series ahead of the World Cup, feels former India batter Suresh Raina.

India, who are scheduled to take on hosts Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final on Sunday, will play in a three-match ODI series against Australia, before they begin their World Cup campaign facing each other in Chennai on October 8.

“They (Australia) have a lot of left-right combinations in the batting order. The Indore ground is very small, and Rajkot has a flat track. Also, the Australian side has played a lot in Mohali and hence I believe they will have an upper hand,” Raina said.
