TEAMS PREVIEW
Australia Preview
Australia are a formidable force on home soil, and their squad is well-equipped to challenge India in these conditions.
Debutant Nathan McSweeney, who boasts a strong first-class average of 42.25 over the past two years, is set to open the innings alongside the experienced Usman Khawaja.
In the middle order, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith may have been short on consistency recently, but their reputation as world-class batters, particularly against India, makes them key players in the series. Labuschagne, particularly, loves batting on this ground and averages over a 100 here per match.
Travis Head, another standout player, has delivered consistently in Tests, averaging 42 with a strike rate of 78 in his last 30 matches.
The bowling attack, spearheaded by Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, will test India’s batters. Expect both these new ball bowlers to make some early strikes.
Josh Hazlewood’s 51 wickets against India at an average of 26.94 make him a potent weapon. Nathan Lyon, known for his success at the Optus Stadium, has claimed 27 wickets in four Tests there, averaging just 18, and will be a key figure in Australia’s plans.
Key Players: Pat Cummins, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Hazlewood
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
Steven Smith has smashed over 8.5 fours only three times in his last 10 Test matches. In most of these matches, he has opened the batting, where he has struggled. However, while batting at number four, Smith has hit over 8.5 fours in two of his last three matches. Given his phenomenal record at number four and against India, we back Smith to hit over 8.5 fours in this match.
McSweeney is set to open the innings and face the fiery Indian pace attack of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj. As he makes his Test debut, it is expected to be a tough outing for the young opener. The Indian new-ball bowlers are likely to test him with their pace and accuracy, and we predict his total score in the first Test to be under 63.5.
One of Australia's best Test match batters, Steve Smith has a phenomenal record at Perth, having amassed 962 runs in 8 Test matches, averaging 74.0. Batting at number 4, he has scored 5966 runs. With his return to the number 4 position, Smith is expected to have a strong start to the series and score over 80.5 runs in the Test match.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

India Preview
India head into the first Test against Australia with injury setbacks and a reshuffled lineup. Regular captain Rohit Sharma’s absence sees Jasprit Bumrah stepping in as skipper.
KL Rahul is expected to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. With Shubman Gill out injured from the first Test due to a thumb injury, Devdutt Padikkal is likely to be the No. 3.
With Jaiswal and Padikkal having never played a Test in Australia, the onus will be on the senior pros, Rahul and Virat Kohli, to do the bulk of the scoring. But both of them are out of form. In fact, Kohli averages only 23 in 6 Tests in 2024.
Having said that, Jaiswal has been India’s best batter in Tests this year, and it won’t be surprising if he top-scores for India here.
In the middle order, Dhruv Jurel’s strong outing against Australia A, scoring 80 and 68, has put him in contention for the No.6 spot. Rishabh Pant, who averages 62.40 in Australia is expected to continue his excellent form after his return to international cricket.
Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will lead the bowling attack, with Akash Deep likely to as the third seamer. Perth’s lively pitch favors pace, so Nitish Kumar Reddy could debut as a pace-bowling all-rounder, edging out Harshit Rana. This setup might limit India to just one spinner, either Ravichandran Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja.
Key Players: Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel
IND Over/Under Betting Tips
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been in exceptional form in Test matches in 2024, averaging an impressive 11.72 fours per game. He has been particularly dominant against pacers, averaging 7 fours per game. Furthermore, Jaiswal's dominance extends to off-break bowlers, especially considering Nathan Lyon, against whom he averages a remarkable 6 fours per game.
The aggressive left-hander had a phenomenal tour the last time he was in Australia. Against Australia, he has scored 620 runs in 6 Test matches, smashing 9 sixes. Coming into this series on the back of solid performances against Bangladesh and New Zealand, we back Pant to continue his aggressive style and hit more sixes than any other batter in the first Test.
The elegant left handed batter is the leading run-scorer for India in the 2023-25 WTC cycle, he has scored 1407 runs in 14 matches. Jaiswal on average scored more than 60 runs per game in three of the last five test matches. He has the skill to tackle the pace trio of the Aussies and we back him to have a solid start to the series and score over 63.5 runs in the 1st test.
India Predicted Playing XI:
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
India Actual Playing XI:
Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Lokesh Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Devdutt Padikkal
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Perth Stadium is likely to have a thick grass coverage that will benefit fast bowlers in the first Test. It should provide good pace and extra bounce to trouble batsmen from both sides. Bowlers will also see good seam movement, particularly when the new ball is in play. As the Kookaburra ball wears down, scoring runs may become a bit easier for the batters. Nonetheless, seam bowlers will remain impactful throughout the five days, while spinners like Nathan Lyon, known for their overspin, will find success at this ground.
The weather in Perth will be sunny and pleasant throughout the five days of the Test. It will be breezy in the afternoon, which should help the seamers.

The average score batting first at the Optus Stadium in Perth is 457 across four Tests. The highest total posted at the venue is Australia’s 598-4 dec versus West Indies in 2022. They won that match by 164 runs. We are expecting a spicy wicket this time, so a score of around 300-350 runs by the team batting first will keep them in a strong position in the match.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We back the away team India to win the Coin Toss in the 1st Test
The average total match score in the four Test matches played at the Optus Stadium in Perth is 1109.5 runs. Australia is known for scoring big runs at home, while India has averaged between 350 and 450 runs per game in Australia over the last two series. Given the strong batting lineups of both teams, we predict the Total Match Score to be Over 1105.5 runs.
Toss: To Bat
All four Tests played at the Optus Stadium in Perth have been won by the team that batted first. Thus, it’s almost certain that both captains will look to bat first here.
AUS vs IND
Winning Prediction
Australia are yet to lose a match at the Optus Stadium in Perth. They are the home side and have a side that has most bases covered. India, on the other hand, would have been shaken after that home series defeat to New Zealand. They are also without two of their top batters. So the visitors have their task cut out. Their best bet will be if their fast bowlers run through Australia’s inconsistent batting unit. But looking at the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, we feel Australia are favorites to dominate this contest.
Australia are favorites to win the first Test and make it 1-0.
