India flew into Australia in October 2025 as the world’s top-ranked ODI team. By the time the tour was over, they had lost an ODI series 2-0 on Australian soil then saved face with a 2-1 T20I series win.
Two formats. Two completely opposite results. And eight matches worth of scorecards that most pages present as disconnected tables.
Here is every Australian men’s cricket team vs India national cricket team match scorecard from the India tour of Australia 2025, with complete batting, bowling and fall of wickets figures plus the tactical story behind why the results happened the way they did.
India Tour Of Australia 2025: Complete Series Results At A Glance
ODI Series Result
Australia won the 3-match ODI series 2-0, with the 3rd ODI abandoned due to rain. Australia defeated India by 7 wickets (DLS method) in Perth, then by 2 wickets in a famous Adelaide thriller.
T20I Series Result
India won the 5-match T20I series 2-1, with the 1st T20I (washout) and 5th T20I (abandoned) also affected by rain. India’s wins came in the 3rd and 4th matches, with the 2nd T20I won by Australia.
The Two-format Story
What people think: “India dominated Australia in 2025.”
Reality: Australia won the ODI series convincingly including their lowest India collapse at Perth and India’s T20I series win came after 2 rain-affected matches, with the series decided on the back of a single dominant 48-run victory in the 4th T20I.
The tour is more complicated than any headline suggests.
Full scorecard: Australia vs India 1st ODI, Perth (October 19, 2025)
India Innings 136/9 In 26 Overs
A rain-reduced match, DLS method in play. India were asked to bat first at Perth Stadium on a lively surface.
| Batter | R | B | 4s | 6s | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rohit Sharma | 8 | 14 | 1 | 0 | 57.1 |

| M Siraj | 0 | — | — | — | 0 |
Total: 136/9 (26 overs, RR: 5.23)
Australia innings 131/3 in 21.1 overs
Australia chased the DLS-revised target comfortably, with Matt Renshaw (20) and Mitchell Marsh (46*) providing the stabilising core.

| Mitchell Marsh* | 46 | 52 | — | — | — |
| Matt Renshaw | 20 | 23 | — | — | — |
Total: 131/3 (21.1 overs) Result: Australia won by 7 wickets (with 29 balls remaining, DLS method).
Bowling: Hazlewood’s dominance
Josh Hazlewood was the key wicket-taker, exploiting Perth’s extra carry and movement to skittle India’s middle order. Mitchell Starc provided early pressure at the top. India’s batting never found a platform partnership to reverse the momentum.

The Conditions And DLS Complication
The match at Perth Stadium was rain-affected, reducing India’s innings. On a fresh Perth surface with cloud cover conditions specifically designed for pace movement India’s opening partnership barely got started before Hazlewood and Starc created an escalating problem.
DLS target adjustments in these conditions always pressure the batting side to score faster than is natural, which compounds already difficult batting conditions.
Hazlewood’s Spell And The Wicket Cluster
Hazlewood’s ability to extract carry off a hard Perth length the ball arriving taller than India’s batters anticipated triggered a collapse through the top half of the order. Rohit Sharma’s 8 off 14 balls captured the struggle perfectly: one of the best ODI batters in the world playing cautious, defensive cricket on a surface where caution still costs you.
The lower half contributed nothing meaningful, with India’s last three wickets adding minimal runs as Hazlewood and Starc continued to extract pace and bounce.
Why 136 Was Never Going To Be Enough
At Perth Stadium in 2025, with Australia’s bowling attack on a seaming surface, any total under 200 was always going to be insufficient. Australia chased 131 in 21 overs without urgency. The DLS-reduced target made the chase even more reachable, and Mitchell Marsh’s calm accumulation ensured there was no late drama.

Bowling
India’s bowlers claimed 8 wickets, bringing Australia to the brink of collapse, but could not take the final 2 to complete a stunning comeback.
Adelaide thriller how Australia chased 265 in 46.2 overs
Matthew Short 74 and Cooper Connolly 61: The Partnership That Set It Up
Short and Connolly built the crucial mid-innings stand that kept Australia’s chase alive when the run rate was climbing and wickets were falling around them. Short’s 74 off 78 balls was technically disciplined but required a disciplined mix of boundaries and rotation exactly the type of innings that wins ODIs rather than just impresses in highlights reels.
Connolly’s 61 off 51 balls provided the acceleration after Short laid the foundation, pushing Australia into the final 10 overs with a realistic target. This was a significant innings for Connolly his third big performance in international cricket during this tour, confirming he was not just an IPL success story but a genuine international all-formats threat.
The Collapse And Recovery 8 Wickets Down Before The Finish Line
But here’s the real problem for Australia’s middle order: they kept losing wickets in clusters, and by the 40th over, India had genuine hope of a 1-1 series. Australia went from steady to wobbling, with both the lower middle order and tail being asked to contribute in a pressure finish.
What sealed it was nerve. The Australian lower order held on, scraping the final runs needed before their last wicket could fall.
Why This Chase Ranks Among The Great India-australia Odi Finishes
This is where things go wrong for fans who treat scorecard numbers as complete stories: a 2-wicket win by 265 reads like a comfortable Australia result. The reality was a finish that went deep into the final overs, with India threatening a series-levelling upset and Australia’s tail under genuine threat.
It belongs in the same category as Adelaide’s greatest bilateral ODI finishes and no scorecard page treats it with the tension it deserves.

What Changed Between the ODI and T20I Series
After the ODI series, India looked brittle in conditions that rewarded Australian conditions expertise. But the T20I format fundamentally changes what those conditions demand. On shorter Powerplay timescales with harder balls, India’s explosive batting options Gill, SKY, Abhishek Sharma are more effective than in a 50-over structural battle where patience and pitch variance dominate.
Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership
SKY became one of cricket’s most successful T20I captains during this period, winning five consecutive bilateral series as India captain. Against Australia, his team selection, batting order flexibility and bowling rotations specifically how he used Sundar and Axar together in the crucial 4th T20I showed a captain reading conditions rather than following a template.
Washington Sundar and Axar Patel’s Bowling Partnership
In the match that decided the T20I series, these two bowlers combined to take 5 wickets and bowl Australia out for 119 from what should have been a reasonable 168-chase platform. Their combination Sundar’s off-spin and Axar’s left-arm orthodox created a dual angle problem Australian right-handers struggled to manage in the middle overs.
The 4th T20I: India bowl Australia out for 119
India 167/8: Gill’s 46 and The Spread
India’s 167 was built across the order rather than on one explosive individual innings. Gill’s 46 gave the innings its foundation, but the late contributions from India’s lower middle order pushed the total to a defendable 167 on a surface where the previous three matches had been high-scoring.
Washington Sundar’s 3 Wickets and The Plan Decoded
Sundar’s off-spin, used in partnership with Axar’s left-arm, created consistent over-the-wicket angles that Australian batters were repeatedly drawn into false shots. Australia’s middle order, which had been adequate against faster bowling, had no consistent answer to quality spin with subtle variation in pace, length and flight.
Australia 119 all out: How The Collapse Happened
Australia went from a steady start to a catastrophic batting surrender. The 48-run margin of defeat in a 168-chase is staggering on any ground the equivalent of Australia losing 10 wickets for 48 in their attempt to win. In T20I terms, the collapse was one of the most comprehensive of the 2025 bilateral season.

Australia vs India 2025: what the scorecards really tell you
The Tour’s Real Verdict
India’s batting in ODI conditions on seaming Perth tracks, under DLS pressure, against Hazlewood was not good enough. They collapsed for 136 in a rain-affected match they had no margin to lose, and nearly blew a 264 at Adelaide from a winning position.
But in T20I cricket shorter format, harder ball, quick tempo India’s batting order depth and bowling flexibility under SKY made them a different team entirely.
The scorecards show two results. The real story is two completely different India teams occupying the same tour.
The Cooper Connolly Indicator
Connolly appeared three times in Australia-facing cricket during this tour period 61 in the 2nd ODI, contributions in the ODI series, and throughout. His consistency across formats and conditions makes him one of the most interesting Australian batting profiles to track heading into the 2025-26 home summer.
Fantasy and form takeaways from India tour of Australia 2025
- Josh Hazlewood: on Perth or seam-friendly Australian pitches is the highest-ceiling bowling pick in any Australia vs India encounter his dominance of India’s top order in the 1st ODI reaffirms the pattern.
- Matthew Short: as an ODI accumulator at Adelaide 74 off 78, high control percentage, genuine value in second innings when chasing.
- Shubman Gill in T20I format consistently: two strong contributions in 4 T20Is makes him an automatic PBKS-like fantasy selection whenever India play T20s against pace-oriented attacks.
- Suryakumar Yadav whenever he is not rained out: both his appearances in this tour (39* in the washed T20I, 32 before collapsing in the 2nd) show clean timing and aggressive intent the 2nd T20I collapse was a team failure, not a personal one.
- Washington Sundar in Australian conditions against right-hand heavy lineups: the 4th T20I confirmed him as a high-wicket-probability spinner in favourable conditions.
- Cooper Connolly: across three formats and multiple series in 2025, Connolly is becoming the highest-ceiling medium-to-long-term fantasy pick in Australian cricket.
