Preview

The senior players who will compete at the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2023 were rested for the first two matches, but the third ODI between India and Australia will see their return.

Before the crucial ICC World Cup 2023, which starts on October 5, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav were given a brief break to gather their breath. The decision was made to prevent squad fatigue, especially with such a significant worldwide event coming up.

The youthful players were given the chance while the veteran pros took a quick holiday. The squad includes players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna, Tilak Varma, and Mukesh Kumar. For the third ODI, the aforementioned players will leave the India team.

Full Squad:

Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya, (vc), Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul (wk), Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin, Washington Sundar, Mohd. Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj

Players to watch out for India vs Australia:

Rohit Sharma

Team India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, will rejoin the group after leading them to their first Asia Cup victory in five years. The 36-year-old, who has recently embraced an offensive strategy in 50 overs cricket to give the Indians quick starts in the powerplay, would like to repeat this in the third ODI against Australia.

Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj was a member of the Indian team for the first two one-day internationals against Australia, but after his outstanding bowling performance in the Asia Cup 2023 final that helped skittle Sri Lanka for 50, the team decided to rest him. The 29-year-old is poised to join Team India’s playing XI on September 27 with just one game left before the ODI World Cup 2023 gets underway.

Possible Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Australia (Match Odds- 2.15)

Preview

Everything that could go wrong for Australia is going wrong. At the most important moment, they are losing matches and also to the host nation of the World Cup which will start next week. Australia lost 2 matches back to back and already lost the series. Now, it is a matter of fact to see if they are going to be whitewashed or not. Big names like Warner, Smith and Cummins will have to step cup.

Full Squad:

Pat Cummins (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matt Short, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa

Players to watch out for India vs Australia:

David Warner

The Australian team was headed by David Warner, who scored 53 runs off of 39 balls. He will be in charge of the Australian batting order since he is the only member of the team who exudes confidence.

Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa took a wicket in the last match of Ishan Kisan but it was too late. He is expected to perform in the Indian conditions. The Australian team will depend on him to pick wickets.

Possible Playing XI:

Adam Zampa, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner, Sean Abbott, Alex Carrey, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins

India vs Australia Head-to-Head

India vs Australia Toss Prediction

The three games that have been played here have all been won with the bat first. Therefore, we believe that whoever wins the toss will probably choose to bat first.

India vs Australia Pitch Report

The Rajkot pitch is anticipated to be a batting haven, similar to Indore. On this field, the average first-inning score is 312. The pitch is level, and the bowlers have little room to manoeuvre in the early going. As the game goes on, the pitch does, however, slow down a little and the spinners will start to be used.

The temperature is forecast to stay around 30 degrees and the weather will be nice with lots of sunshine.

India vs Australia Match Report

Australia is unquestionably one of the strongest teams out there, but given how they have played in their most recent games, it is very challenging to support them. On the other side, India has been effective, and we anticipate that their winning streak will continue.

India is predicted to win the match India vs Australia at the odds of 1.70
