Chennai: Australia have won the toss and decided to bat first against India in the third One Day International in Chennai today. Team India will be aiming at a strong response when the side takes on Australia in the third and final ODI of te series in Chennai. Australia had clinched a 10-wicket in the second game; the side bowled the Indians out for merely 117 before chasing down the target in just 11 overs.
Mitchell Starc took a five-wicket haul in the match as he ran through the Indian top-order yet again, dismissing the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Suryakumar Yadav cheaply. There are speculations over Suryakumar's spot in the XI after successive first-ball ducks, while key
decision is also expected to be taken on the pace bowling spots; fearsome pacer Umran Malik is yet to get a game in the series and many believe the 23-year-old could get an opportunity in Chennai.
TEAMS:
India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj
Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (capt), Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Ashton Agar, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa
