India will lock horns with Australia in the 3rd and final ODI match on Wednesday at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. India have already sealed the series 2-0 after winning the first two matches and this game will bear no effect on the final result of the series.
India won the first game by 5 wickets after the batters chased down the total easily on a flat surface. The bowlers made a superb effort to restrict the Aussies to a below-par total. In the second game, the Indian batters had a party as they smoked a total of 399/5 in 50 overs.
Defending the total, the bowlers did a wonderful job while bowling out the visitors for 217. The Men in Blue will now look to try another combination in the final game before they play the warm-up games for the ICC World Cup 2023.
Rohit Sharma (C), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Washington Sundar
It is expected to be a close contest than the first two as Australia are also expected to field their first-choice XI for the World Cup. However, India are a team in form and every player in their playing XI is performing at the moment. Hence, it is tough to bet against them at the moment. Furthermore, the seniors have returned and added some more solidity to their set-up. As per our prediction, India are expected to win this fixture.
