Sydney: India captain Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl first in the third and final T20I against Australia at the SCG today. India fielded an unchanged XI while Australia made one change.
Captain Aaron Finch returned to the side in place of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis. Not many would have placed their money on a 3-0 result in India’s favour of the T20I series if they were asked to bet after the first two ODIs. But if anyone was brave enough to back India’s T20 track-record in Australia
despite the ODIs blushes then he/she might have a chance to win plenty.
India are heading into the third and final T20I against Australia with an eye on their second whitewash down under. India captain Virat Kohli had made it clear that the series might be in their pockets but they would like to make it 3-0. With the kind of form Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Kohli, Hardik Pandya and T Natarajan are in, that thought surely can’t be brushed aside.
