As the Cricket World Cup approaches, teams have started final preparations. Everyone will be putting their bodies on the line to win the prestigious tournament. The dominance of five-time champion Australia in the marquee tournament will be challenged by emerging teams like India and Pakistan. On the other hand, defending champion England will also face huge challenges.

Despite this, the biggest team to watch out for and the team to beat in the World Cup will remain Australia. The Pat Cummins-led team has a great record against all the participating nations and will look to continue their dominance. However, other teams will be keen to beat them and mark their arrival on the biggest stage. Australia has won more than 60 matches in ODI World Cup history, which is the highest.

Talking about their head-to-head records, only Pakistan and South Africa have been able to show a fight against the mighty Aussies. Out of ten games played between them, the Aussies have won six, while Pakistan have won four. On the other hand, South Africa has won two out of five matches against Australia in World Cup history. While teams like Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Afghanistan have yet to register a win against the Aussies in the World Cup,

India is improving their track record against Australia

Against the five-time champions, India has struggled a lot in the past. They have lost eight out of twelve games against them and have been in the back seat. However, in the last three encounters, India has won two matches against Australia, and the sole defeat came during the 2015 ODI World Cup. In the upcoming ODI World Cup, India will start their campaign against Australia and will be keen to dominate the visitors.

Playing as a host nation, India will have a lot of pressure and expectations, but their performance against the mighty Aussies will set the tone for the entire tournament. Both teams will lock horns on October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Recently, India has been a better side than Australia, and they will look to continue their dominance.
