India vs Australia 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Online: India win toss, elect to bat

India vs Australia (IND vs AUS) 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Updates: India play for pride as they take on Australia in the third and final ODI

India vs Australia (IND vs AUS) 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Online Updates: Having already lost the three-match ODI series against hosts Australia, India play for pride on Wednesday in the third and final ODI. The first two games turned out to be run-fests in which Australia out-batted Virat Kohli’s men and before they switch over to the T20 series, a win at the picturesque Manuka Oval could do their confidence a world of good. Skipper Virat Kohli has admitted they have been “outplayed” in the two games.

Never had an Indian attack looked so out of sorts as it did in the two games — hit for 69 boundaries and 19 sixes. The bowlers have had no idea where to bowl to Steve Smith, who has decided to single-handedly torment the opposition with back-to-back 62-ball-hundreds. Glenn Maxwell’s power-packed finishing at the end of the innings is giving them those extra 30 runs which are creating the difference.

India vs Australia 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score Online:

Green, Abbott and Ashton Agar are in for Warner, Cummins and Starc

Finch: We have got three changes. Starc got a back and rib niggle and the medical team informed us that he will greatly benefit by resting, and obviously Davey and Pat Cummins not playing today. Green is making his debut, Sean Abbott and Ashton Agar come in too. Marnus will be opening for us. No such thing as a dead-rubber when you are playing for Australia and we will be doing everything we can to try and win the game

Australia Playing XI: Aaron Finch(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Moises Henriques, Alex Carey(w), Cameron Green, Ashton Agar, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Natarajan, Gill, Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav replace Saini, Agarwal, Shami and Chahal

Kohli: We will bat first. Looks a nice wicket and the last time we played here it was a really good wicket to bat on. Want to bat well and put the opposition under pressure. Need to improve the body language in the field and the bowling as well. It’s a result of us not being consistent in the last two games, we are gonna try a few things tonight and see how it goes.

India Playing XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli(c), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, T Natarajan

Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli wins the toss and the visitors will bat first in the third and final ODI on Wednesday. 

Meanwhile, at the Australia front, Cameron Green receives his ODI cap from Steve Smith.

T Natarajan, the yorker specialist of the latest IPL edition, is all set to make his debut today. He receives his ODI cap from skipper Virat Kohli

Mohammed Shami, who has 148 wickets in just 79 ODIs, could become the fastest Indian to reach the milestone of 150 ODI wickets. He is 2 wickets away from the mark and could reach the mark in the 3rd ODI. Ajit Agarkar (97 matches) is currently the fastest Indian bowler to 150 ODI wickets

Virat Kohli is 23 runs away from breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of being the fastest to 12,000 ODI runs in ODI cricket. Tendulkar holds the record for being the fastest to 12,000 ODI runs in 300 innings. Kohli has 11,977 runs in 250 ODIs and is just 23 runs short of this record.

Australia’s Steve Smith is gunning to become the first Australian to score three consecutive 100s in ODIs.

Left chasing shadows in the first two games, a listless Indian team would most certainly tweak its bowling combination in order to avoid a second successive clean-sweep when it takes on Australia in the third and final ODI here on Wednesday. A 0-3 defeat against Australia would be their second rout in consecutive ODI series having met the same fate in New Zealand earlier this year.

Squads

India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (vice-captain & wicket-keeper), Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Hardik Pandya, Mayank Agarwal, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Shami, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, T Natarajan
