“We were thinking of playing with four seamers but the conditions here are suitable for the spinners, so we go with three spinners,” stated Rohit at toss.

“David Warner is back and Cameron Green is feeling unwell, so there are changes.”

Australia skipper Steve Smith wins toss, opts to bat.

The focus will as soon as once more be on KL Rahul, who was dismissed cheaply within the earlier ODI.

KL Rahul has been struggling for runs and misplaced his spot within the Test facet.

He kicked-off the sequence with a match-winning 75, however was dismissed for 9 within the following encounter. 

If we have a look at the earlier 5 encounters between each the perimeters. Australia have gained thrice, whereas India have registered two wins.

Rahul Dravid famous the monitor as an excellent wicket on the pre-match press convention, indicating it might probably be a high-scoring encounter within the series-decider.

Steve Smith is 51 runs away from reaching 5000 ODI runs. The stand-in Australia skipper is but to hit a fifty within the ongoing tour, can he do it at the moment?

Also if Smith goes on to hit a century, he’ll go on stage phrases with Ricky Ponting for many ODI 100s in opposition to India for Australia.

The floor has not been a cheerful floor for Virat Kohli, who has been dismissed for 4 single-digit scores from the seven ODIs he is performed right here. However, the talismanic batter has additionally hit two fifties, and 100.

The final time India misplaced an ODI sequence at dwelling, it was in 2019… in opposition to Australia. That was a fairly unusual defeat as India, after being 2-0 up, misplaced three in a row. This time round, 4 years later, Rohit Sharma finds himself in the identical boat as Virat Kohli. India’s document at dwelling as been subsequent to none, and earlier than the gamers disperse for the IPL, they might wish to hold that document intact.

In a worrying trivia for India, Australia have a stellar document of successful 4 out of 5 matches on the Chepauk. Their final defeat got here in 2017, in opposition to India. In the 2 matches performed to this point within the sequence, the facet chasing has gained; nonetheless, Chennai has all the time been recognized to favour the staff batting first in Day-Night ODIs. 

Out of the 145 ODIs between the 2 groups, Australia lead India by a 81-54 scoreline, the domination being a results of one-sided matches within the Nineties and 2000s. Until 2008, Australia had the sting over India, however the Men In Blue turned a nook underneath MS Dhoni giving the Aussies a run for his or her cash.

In order for India to take the sequence decider, they should discover out a approach to cease the 2 Mitchell’s – Starc and Marsh. Both have been a thorn in India’s eye. Marsh has plundered the bowlers with back-to-back fifties whereas Starc has wrecked the highest order on each events with 3/49 and 5/53 in Mumbai and Vizag respectively. In 7 matches, Marsh has scored 311 runs in opposition to India whereas Starc has the perfect strike price of 25.6 amongst 157 bowlers with 100-plus wickets.

The sequence decider between India and Australia has been marred by inclement climate. Rainy climate has been persisting in Chennai however fortunately, Wednesday’s forecast has improved drastically. The risk of rain has come down by 40 p.c and we should always get a full qoute of fifty overs. LET’S GO! 

Yes, it has been that lengthy. The refurbished MA Chidambaram Stadium will stage the decider with India’s proud dwelling document at stake. The final time an ODI was performed on the Chepauk Stadium was again in 2018 which India misplaced in opposition to West Indies. Also, that is the primary ever worldwide in Chennai because the twin Tests in opposition to England in 2021. 

Speaking to reporters forward of the third and remaining ODI of the sequence, Indian head coach Rahul Dravid revealed that the two-time world champions have narrowed their World Cup core staff to 17-18 gamers forward of the showpiece occasion.”Probably not going to get too many more games in our conditions. We had the opportunity to play in these conditions which is great. Yeah, coming out of the IPL to a large extent we are pretty clear about the kind of squad and the players we want. We have narrowed it down to 17-18 players,” Dravid stated.

Rain gods are prone to make their presence felt in Chennai as India meet Australia within the third and remaining ODI of the bilateral sequence on Wednesday. The climate is anticipated to be round 33 levels Celsius at the moment in Chennai. As per Accuweather, thunderstorms are predicted for 12 PM and three PM. Cloud cowl is prone to be 70% at 3 PM.

While it will be harsh to criticise the Indian pacers on their outing within the second ODI, the Indian staff may be inclined on bringing fierce speedster Umran Malik within the taking part in XI. But who makes the way in which for him? 

The India batter has didn’t register a 50+ rating since February final 12 months. In his final 10 innings, his highest rating has been 34*. Here’s the listing of scores in his final 10 innings in ODIs:

0, 0, 14, DNB, 31, 4, 6, 34*, 4, 8.

Dravid backed Suryakumar amid the tough patch.

“He has played a lot of high-pressure T20 games but in one-day cricket, there’s no equivalent tournament in domestic cricket, you’ll have to play Vijay Hazare and all that. Even though he has played a lot of T20 cricket, I think he has not played a lot of one-day cricket. We just need to give him some time and be patient with him. We certainly see the upside of him doing well, which is very good for the side,” Dravid stated.

The explosive batter failed within the first two matches of the sequence; he was dismissed on first-ball geese in each the video games in fairly an equivalent method, and curiously – each by Mitchell Starc. ‘SKY’, as he is recognized, was trapped in entrance of the wickets by the left-arm pacer, and there are speculations over his place within the XI forward of the ultimate ODI. 

Australia had produced spectacular performances all through the ODI sequence, even within the first match the place they confronted a five-wicket defeat. A stable partnership between KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja had steered India dwelling on the time however the duo could not repeat their heroics in Visakhapatnam. Will the Steve Smith-led facet carry ahead the momentum within the decider?

India confronted their greatest defeat by margin of balls remaining within the second ODI of the sequence in opposition to Australia, as they conceded a 118-run goal in solely 11 overs. Mitchell Starc ran by means of a hapless Indian batting order, whereas Mitchell Marsh (66*) and Travis Head (50*) scored unbeaten half-centuries to wrap the sport up.
