Two-time winners India take on five-time champions Australia today at The Oval to play out one of the 2019 World Cup's most anticipated matches. Their rivalry is renowned and competition intense. If India demolished them in their own backyard earlier this year, winning the series 2-1, a determined Australian unit hit back by stunning the hosts 3-2 in India.

It was the last international series India played before coming into the World Cup. While Australia skipper Aaron Finch believed it will have a bearing on this game, India vice-captain Rohit Sharma felt otherwise.
