Team India started 2019 on a high. It beat Australia 2-1 in a three-match ODI series in Australia. The Aussies, however, returned to beat the Virat Kohli-led side in India a month later. That’s how tight the two sides have been in white-ball cricket. But in World Cups, the five-time champions are leagues ahead.
Out of 11 meetings in the big-ticket event, India tasted only three wins. The Aussies have won eight times. The 2011 quarterfinal is India's last win against Australia in a World Cup match.
Among Australia’s victories, the 2003 World Cup final triumph in Johannesburg stands as one of the best performances. The semifinal win in 2015, in Sydney, comes close.
In ODI cricket, the head-to-head ratio reads Australia 77-49 India in 136 matches; NR 10.
