Ind vs Aus 3rd ODI live score and commentary

India hopes for a better performance from their top-order batsmen, who have failed to fire so far in the series. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli have scored only 67 runs combined in two matches and have fallen prey to Mitchell Starc’s lethal swing bowling.

Suryakumar Yadav’s form is also a cause of concern for India, as he has been dismissed for a golden duck twice in a row by Sean Abbott. The Mumbai batsman will be under pressure to justify his place in the team ahead of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant.

Australia will be confident after their comprehensive win in Vizag, where they chased down 118 runs in just 11 overs. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head smashed half-centuries each and took full advantage of India’s lackluster bowling attack.

Nathan Lyon was the star with the ball for Australia, claiming eight wickets in Indore Test and three in Vizag ODI. The off-spinner has troubled India’s batsmen with his accuracy and variations and will be a key factor in Australia’s chances of winning the series.

The last stop on this long and exciting tour, #TeamIndia will aim to end on a high! 🥳
