India vs Australia, 3rd ODI – Dafanews Match Preview

India will lock horns against Australia in the third ODI of the series at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Wednesday. In the modern era, where scoring 350 has become a norm, both teams have failed to even reach the 200-run mark in the first two ODIs, which has been a surprise.

But at the same time, the bowling unit of both teams has been right on the money. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of Australia: W L W W W

Australia has dominated from the get-go in the second ODI. The visitors had skittled out the hosts at 117 after Mitchell Starc had run through India’s batting order. Furthermore, he received support from Sean Abbott and Nathan Ellis.

India hasn’t been able to come up with a collective show with the bat. The home team crumbled like a pack of cards at Vizag and they will need to come up with a better batting show against Australia in the series decider.

Head to Head: Matches: 145, Won by Australia: 81, Won by India: 54, No Result: 10.

Australia holds the advantage against India in the head-to-head contest.

Players to watch out for: Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mohammed Siraj will hold the key for India.

Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell will be the crucial players for Australia.
