The two teams now head to the JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi. Keep reading to find out the India v Australia 3rd ODI Match Prediction.
The Nagpur ODI proved to be a thriller and the capacity crowd was entertained thoroughly. First, it was a masterclass from Virat Kohli as he scored his 40th ODI ton. On a surface that was difficult to bat on, he showed his class and took India to a defendable 250. His knock of 116 from 120 just showed why he is the No.1 batsman in the world.
Australia was well on course to chase the score down at the openers added 83 runs. But India came storming back and scalped wickets in a bundle. The spinners choked the runs and it went down to the wire. Kuldeep Yadav bagged 3 wickets while Jasprit Bumrah claimed 2 to bring India close. Marcus Stoinis battled hard but his knock of 52 went in vain as he failed to score 11 from Vijay Shankar’s last over.
