The australian men’s cricket team vs india national cricket team timeline showcases these legendary battles, highlighting unforgettable performances, dramatic matches, and iconic cricketing milestones between the two nations.

Timeline

India and Australia share an intense rivalry in cricket. Over time they have met 102 times for test matches, 143 ODIs, and 27 T20Is; their clashes always provide entertainment – each team having won several trophies like World Cups or Champions Trophy tournaments.

Australia currently hold the edge in ODIs against India, having won nine out of 14 meetings between them. On the other hand, India boasts an excellent track record against Australia in Tests with 85 wins to 70 losses between them over 150 meetings between them.

In the opening session, there was ample rain and a steady run-rate; both teams appeared in control despite this inclement weather, looking to set up big scores. India lost early wickets with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill taking early dismissals due to loose shots; KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma managed to keep up their runs-per-over pace and keep up their runs per over.

Mohammad Shami bowled an impressive over before being replaced by Varun Chakarvarthy, yet failed to provide an initial breakthrough. Usman Khawaja and Travis Head both struck some sublime strokes – with Khawaja scoring four fours and sixes, and Head hitting an eye-catching six over extra cover to enter his 30s.

Webster batted with great maturity. He struck Siraj between extra cover and mid-off for four before narrowly missing diving KL Rahul at first slip for another four. Webster demonstrated good temperament and will become an asset to Australia down the track.

History

India and Australia share an intense rivalry when it comes to cricket, meeting several times at high-stakes matches like the 2023 ODI World Cup Final where Australia defeated India by six wickets. Their head-to-head record in ODIs stands at 89-85; 10 matches ended without result.

Their rivalry also extends into other ICC tournaments where Australia holds an edge over India; winning six Cricket World Cups and two T20 World Cups while India has only managed seven victories overall (three World Cups + one Champions Trophy).

India last lost back-to-back series against Australia in 2014-15 when they played four matches abroad. Both sides will meet once more in 2024 for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy tournament which India won over South Africa after an intense final match, with matches scheduled in Adelaide and Melbourne beginning December 9th.

Siraj bowled a short delivery that pitched inside leg stump but outside it; head shuffled towards leg but couldn’t play at it and ball went to boundary for four.

Matches

Australia and India matches are always fiercely contested, as both teams share an intense rivalry that extends across ICC tournaments and often meet in high-stakes matches.

They have met 151 times in One Day Internationals; Australia leads this series 84-57; they also often appear in finals of both Champions Trophy and World Test Championship tournaments.

The 2025/26 Ashes series marks the first time since 1996 when both teams will take part in three Tests and five One Day Internationals simultaneously, hosted by Australia. The fixtures were revealed by the International Cricket Council on Monday; Foxtel will broadcast all games, while Kayo Sports provides live streaming of every match.

Australian has done extremely well against India in ODI matches, winning nine out of 14 meetings; however, India holds an edge against them when it comes to Champions Trophy and World Test Championship competition.

Australia will face India again at Tuesday’s semi-final of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 hosted at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Both teams need to work on improving, with Australia having Usman Khawaja not appearing like his former self and Labuschagne not providing consistent performances; Smith and Head are making runs, while Sam Konstas and Beau Webster can add some much-needed depth in the middle order batting line-up.

India are concerned by Bumrah’s injury. He was taken off during the drinks break and received treatment on his calf; though no visible sign of discomfort has been noted during this walk-on match.

While it’s likely not serious, keeping an eye on Bumrah throughout this match will be crucial; his bowling attack plays an integral part of their attack and they must find replacements quickly. Meanwhile, BCCI have announced a 15-member India A squad which will tour Australia over three days, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Their tour will include two First-Class matches against Australia A before playing three three-day intrasquad games against senior India team and three day intrasquad games between senior India team and senior India team.

Schedule

The 2025/26 season promises to be another monumental one for Australian cricket, featuring international matches taking place in all major Australian cities at major cricket grounds. Highlights of this international slate will include NRMA Insurance Men’s Ashes five-match Test series against England at Trent Bridge; India visiting for almost 20 years for white ball cricket action; multiformat women’s series between arch rivals Australia and Pakistan; day/night fixtures between them at SCG Canberra and Manuka Oval Hobart as well as daytime fixtures between them; all this makes up one huge and diverse schedule ever seen for men’s cricket in Australia!
