After sealing the series with a comprehensive victory in Indore, India will take on Australia in what will be both teams’ final game before the start of the World Cup. Plenty of changes from both sides are expected for this last game of the series in Rajkot.

India won the second ODI by 99 runs (DLS) on Sunday (September 25) and look like a solid unit ahead of the global event. From centuries by Gill and Shreyas to Ashwin’s three-fer, the Men in Blue ticked plenty of boxes in that game. As the likes of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli return, the team will only get strengthened further.

Meanwhile, Australia suffered their fifth consecutive defeat in this format, and they have several concerns. The form of pace all-rounders and the reckless shots of their batters are something Australia would have talked about a lot before the game. This game will be their final opportunity to get their acts together and carry the momentum to the warm-up games and eventually to the World Cup.

David Warner has 1118 runs at an average of 50.81 and a strike rate of 97.47 in 23 ODI innings against India. He has also amassed eight fifties and three centuries against them. He has looked good in this series, but Australia would need a big score from his bat this time around.

Adam Zampa has 34 wickets at 31.64 runs apiece in 21 ODI innings against India. He bowled well amidst the carnage in the previous game and will have to provide breakthroughs to the team in the middle overs again.
