When the chips were down, Australia raised their game and stayed alive in the series. Even though the scoreline of 2-1 is in favor of the hosts, the visitors have well and truly made a comeback. The 4th ODI will be played on Sunday at the PCA Stadium, Mohali. Keep reading to find out the India v Australia 4th ODI Match Prediction.
The way Australia started in the last game, showed that they were determined to do well. Usman Khawaja and Aaron Finch did the damage with the opening partnership of 193 runs. While Finch got out for 93, Khawaja carried on to make 104. Australia ended with 313/5 after 50 overs. They could have got even more if not for India’s decent effort with the ball at the death.
For the hosts, the worries get even bigger as the openers failed again. Virat Kohli notched up his 41st ODI century but there was hardly any contribution from others. The middle and lower order failed to play a substantial role as India fell short by 32 runs. Australia would gain massive confidence for the upcoming games.
