India vs Australia third ODI match preview
After a tremendous win against Australia India is looking forward to dominate Australia and World cricket by clinching another victory at Mohali. The host chased 359 runs in the last match, which was the second highest chase in the history of ODI cricket.
As for George Bailey and his team last game was a huge disappointment, even after scoring huge run on board, Australian bowlers couldn't able to defend their target of 359. This was not the first time Australian bowlers failed to defend a huge target. But in the past, they were completely failed to defend even after scoring 438, 346 and 340 runs against South Africa and New Zealand respectively.
On the batting front Australia is no longer a dummy side compared to India. Both teams have batsman who can take the score to any level at any moment of the game. Both teams are winning the game because it is the strength of batting rather than bowling, that is dominating in both sides. In-fact, when compared, both teams have so many loop holes in bowling department that in this game the team that strengthens their bowling ability will surely clinch the victory.
Aaron Finch and George Bailey are in a tremendous form and expected to continue further in this game. Experienced Shane Watson is the key for Australia as he knows the conditions of the Indian pitch than anyone else in the team.
For India, it would be again Shikar Dhawan and Rohith Sharma who can provide descent start and thereby Kohli, Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni can smash the ball to take India near victory. It is almost certain that if Australia get early breakthroughs then it would be very difficult for India to score in the way they scored in the last game. If Aussies succeed in taking the early wickets they can win this game in a damn easy way.
Teams:
Australia: George Bailey (C), Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Moises Henriques, Mitchell Johnson, Clint McKay, Shane Watson, Xavier Doherty, Callum Ferguson, Brad Haddin, Phil Hughes, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Voges
