IND VS AUS 3rd ODI 2020 PREVIEW

 


A whitewash down under...,maybe? maybe not? This question will be answered tomorrow at Canberra. Both the matches at Sydney were one sided with Indian bowling looking clueless against ever hungry Australian batsmen. India haven't lost the series due to batting, the team managed to score above 300 runs in both the matches, the main damage has been done by our bowlers, excluding Shami, no one else looked motivated and determined to take wickets, the biggest disappointment are Bumrah and Chahal who performed extraordinarily in IPL 2020 but looked out of touch against Aussie batsmen. Saini is a liability for the team and should be rested until he is fully fit. Natarajan should replace him tomorrow as he is a left arm pace, a rare commodity in Indian cricket. Jadeja is an economical bowler but he too has a responsibility on his shoulder to take wickets in the middle overs. Kuldeep must play tomorrow in place of either Shami or Bumrah if India decides to rest one out of the two pacers as the tour is long comprising of four test matches. Kuldeep and Chahal would be a great combo in the middle overs and they have proven themselves in the foreign land and against big teams before. In batting, no change is required but all eyes will be on Mayank, he still has a big thing to prove as the team is not satisfied with 20's and 30's.The team wants a mighty knock from him. He has that ability, only execution is required at the big stage. Otherwise the batting looks strong with Virat, Rahul, Dhawan, Pandya all scoring runs. Again Iyer is looking out of form and his weakness against short ball is very much prevalent, and he must find a way to counter it. Coming to Australia, they have already won the series and will be relaxed coming at Canberra. But the team has suffered a big blow as David Warner is injured and out of the white ball series. This means, the powerful opening partnership is broken, and India will be looking to take an advantage of that. Pat Cummins is too rested keeping in mind the upcoming test series. But still, in the presence of Finch, Smith, Labuschagne and Maxwell....the Australian batting looks dreadful. In the absence of Warner, Matthew Wade should open with the captain and Sean Abbott or Andrew Tye, either of them will replace Cummins. Zampa will be an important factor again in the middle overs and will aim to break partnerships for Australia. All in all, Australia are the favourites to win tomorrow and white wash India in this series, while Kohli and co. can only be saved by a miracle. Now let us take a look at the ODI statistics of Manuka Oval, Canberra.

IND VS AUS 3rd ODI 2020 SUMMARY

  Finally we can say, a complete performance by team India. After being bashed one sidedly at Sydney, they fought well at Canberra and resisted a whitewash. Virat won the toss and got third time lucky in this series, and of course opted to bat first on a flat deck of Manuka Oval. India made four changes in their side. Gill, Shardul, Natarajan and Kuldeep replaced Mayank, Shami, Saini and Chahal respectively. Natarajan made his debut for India. While Australia brought Cameron Green the debutant, Ashton Agar and Sean Abbott in place of Warner, Starc and Cummins. Indian openers started nicely especially Gill who looked compact and solid while playing strokes, he scored some good boundaries in the start, and even hit a short ball for six over fine leg. Unfortunately India lost its wicket in the sixth over with Shikhar Dhawan getting out to Sean Abbott. Virat then joined Gill and both batted with a positive intent and ran quick singles and doubles in the middle. They had a 56 run partne...

IND VS AUS 1st T20 2020 PREVIEW

  So After a one sided ODI series, we will move forward to the shortest and most uncertain format of the game...the T20's. Australia won the ODI's and will be high on spirits to take on India at Canberra today. While India who resisted a whitewash and won the 3rd ODI will carry a momentum with them, coming in this match. Players from both the teams participated in the recently concluded IPL 2020 and will be well versed with this format. Last time when both the teams played a T20 series against each other in Australia, the equation was 1-1.Talking about India, there are 2 inclusions to the squad of ODI that will play in the T20's, Sundar and D Chahar comes in place of Gill and Kuldeep. I want to clarify a mistake I did in my preview video which I posted the previous day, I forgot about KL Rahul as an opening option and counted only Agarwal and Samson as replacements of Rohit. Rahul walks straight into the playing xi as an opener after an outstanding IPL 2020. He will open al...
