The first ODI of the India tour of Australia 2025 takes place on Sunday, October 19 at Perth Stadium. Australia and India will meet in a three-match ODI series, followed by five T20Is. This opening game will set the tone for the series, and fantasy cricket fans can expect a high-scoring match, with key players from both sides likely to shine. So let’s have a look at AUS vs IND 1st ODI Fantasy Tips.

Location and conditions

Perth Stadium is known for its fast, bouncy pitches, which favors pacers who can create extra bounce and movement. Hitters should be careful when attempting big shots because edges are more likely to occur. Spinners get minimal help, so advantageous spin options or all-rounders could prove valuable in fantasy setups. Teams chasing a goal may have a slight advantage due to the predictable field behavior under lighting.

Key players to choose

Rohit Sharma (India) – The veteran opener remains one of the most consistent fantasy picks. His ability to score big on Australian pitches, coupled with his free-hitting style, makes him ideal as captain or vice-captain.

Shubman Gill (India) – Leading the side in ODIs for the first time, Gill can anchor the innings while accelerating when required. His consistency and high success rate make him a strong fantasy prospect.

Mitchell Marsh (Australia) – The Australian captain is a reliable batsman and handy bowler, offering runs in multiple fantasy categories.

Nathan Ellis (Australia) – Known for his speed and ability to bowl at the death, Ellis could pick up crucial wickets, giving him a high fantasy value for bowling points.

Virat Kohli (India) – A must-have in fantasy squads for his ability to play match-defining innings, especially under pressure.

Fantasy Captain and Vice Captain Choices

• Captain: Rohit Sharma (India) – high scoring potential and consistency
