Australia A won by 125 runs
We predicted India A at 74.8%
India A are clear favourites in Puducherry.
Our AI model predicts India A to beat Australia A with a 75% win probability in the 1st unofficial ODI on 6 October 2026, a day-night game at the Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground. India A won the first four-day match of this tour at the same ground by 162 runs, and they won last year's one-day series against Australia A 2-1.
How India A arrive after a 162-run win at this ground
India A beat Australia A by 162 runs in the first four-day match of the tour, played here from 22 to 25 September 2026. They made 334 and 199, then bowled Australia A out for 171 and 200. Kumar Kushagra scored 113 in that match, and he is in the one-day squad.
The second four-day match, from 29 September to 2 October 2026, was drawn. Australia A made 358 and 173 for 4 declared, and India A answered with 167 and 310 for 9 to see out the game.
India A's one-day form comes from earlier in the year. On 21 June 2026, India A beat Sri Lanka A by 66 runs in the final of a 50-over tri-series at Dambulla. The squad for this match names Ruturaj Gaikwad, Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh, Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal at the top of the order.
Can Australia A's one-day side turn this tour around?
Australia A lost the first four-day match by 162 runs and drew the second, so the one-day leg is their chance to take something home from India. Todd Murphy took seven wickets in that first match, 3 for 77 and 4 for 48, and he is named in the one-day squad.
Their one-day squad also names Nathan McSweeney, Josh Philippe, Mitchell Owen, Sam Konstas, Liam Scott, Tanveer Sangha and Will Sutherland. That gives them a spread of batting options and two spinners in Murphy and Sangha.
Two of those names hurt India A in Kanpur last year. Liam Scott made 73 off 64 balls against India A on 5 October 2025, and Will Sutherland made 50 off 33 balls against India A on 1 October 2025.
Key Matchups: India A's openers against Murphy and Sangha
Priyansh Arya vs Tanveer Sangha: Priyansh Arya made 101 off 84 balls against Australia A in Kanpur on 1 October 2025 before Tanveer Sangha took his wicket. Sangha is back in Australia A's one-day squad, and he is the bowler Arya has already met at this level.
Prabhsimran Singh vs Todd Murphy: Prabhsimran Singh made 102 off 68 balls against Australia A in Kanpur on 5 October 2025, the innings that set up India A's series win. Todd Murphy took seven wickets against India A in the first four-day match here (22 to 25 September 2026), so he arrives in form on this ground.
Nishant Sindhu vs Will Sutherland: Nishant Sindhu took 4 for 50 against Australia A in Kanpur on 1 October 2025, and one of those wickets was Will Sutherland after his 50 off 33 balls. Sindhu's left-arm spin against Sutherland's hitting is a contest worth watching in the middle overs.
