3rd ODI Updates: Resilient India face feisty Aus

image
A coveted series-victory will be at stake when a resilient India face a feisty Australia in the third and deciding ODI, in Bengaluru, on Sunday, promising a fitting finale between the two leading teams in world cricket.

The series was very much expected to go down to the wire but with the way the Australians hammered the hosts in the series opener, it seemed the tourists would run away with their second straight series win in India.

However, India showed commendable character in Rajkot to level the series, proving that the panic buttons were pressed prematurely following the 10-wicket loss in Mumbai.

More importantly, India got their batting combination right for the second ODI, a fair comment considering the way K L Rahul seized the opportunity in his new batting position '" number five.

Australia too are unlikely to make wholesale changes in their line-up following the defeat. They were very much in the run chase until Kuldeep got rid of star batsman Smith. 

The visitors had a great chance of wrapping up the series but were unable to win the crucial moments.The in-form Marnus Labuschagne was impressive in his first ODI innings but got out at the wrong time.
