India vs Australia, Third T20I, Match Prediction, Fantasy XI, Who will win?

 

India will face Australia in the final match of the three-matches T20I Ind vs Aus series, and Men in Blue would aim to script a second whitewash in Australia. 

Team Preview 

Before going to the white-colors, Men in Blue takes on Australia to complete the clean sweep in T20s. Team India defeated the hosts in the previous encounter by 6 wickets. Pandya smashed Australian bowlers out of the park and helped India to chase down 195. With this win, India created a new record in the shorter format. 

They won its 10th straight T20 match on Sunday, and it was India’s second T20I series triumph in Australia after 2016. India’s top-order gave a fluent start and avoided the first match’s mistakes. Dhawan got a half-century, and Kohli contributed vital runs in the middle. 

For India, the big positive is Natarjan’s bowling, who bagged 5 wickets from the first two matches. In the previous game, he went for just 20 and picked two wickets. For the final match, India can make changes to the playing XI. To prepare for the Test series, Shami and Bumrah both will be rested again. Kohli can give himself rest, and KL Rahul can lead India. 

Meanwhile, Australia can blame its errors to find themselves on the losing side in both games. In the opening fixture, they failed to carry the powerplay momentum and the middle-order issue hurt the hosts. In Sydney, they were outclassed as they couldn’t defend 194. In the last 6 overs, India required 72, and after few deliveries, Sams got Kohli, but Australia failed to draw any twist to the game. Pandya took the game away from Australia’s hand, and Australia lost its second straight T20I series. Australia can also slip to third or fourth in ICC Rankings. 

The hosts can recall Finch as the captain, and Nathan Lyon can get the game on Tuesday. Team management can also rest Steven Smith to give its Test specialist some rest for the Test series. D Arcy Short might be replaced by Alex Carey. 

Pitch Report 

SCG’s track is good for batting. It offers plenty of help to batsmen. Pacers can get help with the new ball, but in a night match, the seamers' chances are pretty low. The chasing side will have an advantage. 

Possible XI 

Australia 

Aaron Finch (C), Marcus Stoinis, Steven Smith/Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Matthew Wade (c & wk), Daniel Sams, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Swepson, Adam Zampa/Nathan Lyon, Andrew Tye

India 

KL Rahul (wk), Shikhar Dhawan/Mayank Agarwal, Manish Pandey/Virat Kohli (c), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar, T Natarajan, Yuzvendra Chahal

Key Players 

India 

Virat Kohli 

Hardik Pandya 

Australia 

Adam Zampa 

Glenn Maxwell

India vs Australia, Third ODI, Match Prediction, Fantasy Playing XI

 

India and Australia square off in the final ODI of the series after high-scoring matches in Sydney. Australia has taken a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-matches series. 

Team Preview 

Australia will face Team India in the third ODI of the series with an eye for the clean sweep in the three-matches ODI series. The finch-led side showed dominance in Sydney to outperform Men In Blue. Smith scored 62-balls hundred in both matches, and India failed to chase despite scoring 300 in both matches. 

Kohli’s troops have reached Canberra to change their fortune. They would avoid another clean sweep this year as Team India recently suffered a 3-0 defeat against New Zealand Down Under. It will be the second time in history when India will receive a clean sweep in a three-matches ODI series if Australia wins the last ODI on Wednesday. 

India is not picking wickets in the powerplay, and they are conceding runs at 10 runs per over in flag-overs. From 31-50, Australia is scoring 200 runs, which creates a boost to the final score. Pandya bowled four overs in the last outing, but he is not fully fit for bowling due to his last year’s injury. 

Kuldeep Yadav can earn a place in the XI, replacing Yuzvendra Chahal. Mayank Agarwal might be dropped, and KL Rahul can open with Dhawan. Manish Pandey can find himself in middle-order. Kohli can also handover the ODI cap to Natarajan, who had great success in Indian T20 League this year. Team India have been whitewashed in a three-match ODI series only once in history, and it happened this year in New Zealand Down Under. 

On the other hand, Australia are in top form after edging past the world’s top-two ODI sides, England and India. Aussies get a perfect start from openers, and Smith takes charge in middle-overs, followed by the acceleration in death from Maxwell. India had no clue to break this story. 

Pat Cummins has been rested for this fixture, and Andrew Tye might replace him in the final ODI. Short will replace Warner, who has been ruled of the white-ball series. Andrew Tye will be the third seamer for the Aussies in the final ODI. D'arcy Short can open with Finch, or  Langer can promote Labuschagne up in the order. Cameron Green can also earn the Australian cap. 

Pitch Report 

The Manuka Oval is one of the finest batting ground and if offers good assistance to the batsmen. We might expect another 300 plus score on Wednesday. Batting first sides will have an advantage. 

Possible XI 

Australia 

Marnus Labuschagne, Aaron Finch (c), Steve Smith, D’Archy Short/Mathew Wade, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Adam Zampa, Andrew Tye 

India 

Shikhar Dhawan, Mayank Agarwal, Virat Kohli (C), Shreyas Iyer,  KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal/Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Navdeep Saini 

Key Players 

Australia 

Steve Smith 

Adam Zampa 

India
