India will pose a tough hurdle for Australia despite their "vulnerabilities", feels the great Allan Border ahead of the high-profile World Cup clash here on Sunday.

Australia are on a roll having won their last 10 ODIs, including the three victories on the trot against India in March when they came from behind to beat Virat Kohli and Co 3-2 in an away series.

Though India won comfortably beat South Africa in their World Cup opener on Wednesday, Border said it was not a convincing performance.

"I think they (India) got out of jail a little bit the other day, the South Africans played pretty well but they are just not scoring enough runs, and then Rohit Sharma kept it all together for the Indians," wrote Border in his column for the ICC.

"India have got some vulnerabilities, but they also have some world-class performers in Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and the rest it's a pretty handy side!"
