Day-night fixtures dominate Australia ODIs schedule

Australia's seven-match ODI series in India will begin on October 25, with the first match being played in Jaipur. The tour itinerary announced by the BCCI today has six of the seven matches played under lights, the exception being the penultimate game in Guwahati on November 8.

While there will be a two-day gap between most of the fixtures, there will be just a day's rest between the third and fourth ODIs, to be played in New Delhi and Mohali respectively. Mumbai, set to welcome back international cricket after the terror attacks in November last year, will be hosting the final match of the series on November 11. The DY Patil Stadium, which hosted the Mumbai Indians during the inaugural version of the IPL, will stage the concluding game which will also be its first international fixture.

The series comes immediately after the Champions League, the multi-nation, inter-club tournament being jointly organised by the boards of India, South Africa and Australia. It will be held in India from October 8-23 and will feature 12 club sides from seven countries.
