IND vs AUS, 3rd ODI Preview

India and Australia complete their ODI series on Wednesday afternoon in Chennai. With the score at 1-1, a win for either team will see them secure the series. India won the opening ODI by five wickets before Australia won by 10 wickets on Sunday. India were very poor in the second ODI and must find a way to stop Mitchell Starc in this game. However, they have plenty of brilliant players and they should have enough talent to get the victory. Australia have shown plenty of character on this tour after coming back in the Test and ODI series. They need to put in another top display in this match to emerge with a series win.

Topmost Picks for IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, 3rd ODI:

Top Picks – India

• Virat Kohli – He has been in excellent form over the last six months and will be the big wicket that Australia will want to take early in this game.
• Mohammed Shami – Although he went wicketless in the second ODI, Shami did not have many runs to play with. He continues to be one of the best all-format bowlers in world cricket.

Top Picks – Australia

• Mitchell Marsh – The opener has been in excellent form and has hit 145 runs across the two opening games of the series. He is a big-hitter who will attack from the start of his innings. 
• Mitchell Starc – The left-arm pace bowler had been written off as past his best but he looks set to be one of the key players at the World Cup later this year.

IND vs AUS 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

This ODI promises to be a very interesting contest with both India and Australia keen to put down a marker ahead of the World Cup later in the year. India has a huge job to turn itself around after being thrashed in Vizag but certainly has the players to do it. Our prediction is for a very close final ODI with Michell Starc again causing problems for India’s top order. But overall, we are backing India’s players to have enough quality to win the fixture. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
