India vs Australia, 2020 – 3rd ODI preview, predicted lineups

As the series is levelled at 1-1, both India and Australia head to Bengaluru for the final show down.

Date and Time : 19th January 2020, 1:30 PM IST

Venue : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

Team India showed a complete performance yesterday in Rajkot as they made a comeback in fashion. Now it’s all set up.

The first game was comprehensively won by Australia in Mumbai. So we can expect it to be a feast for the fans as the titans clash.

The Bengaluru wicket is batting one with smaller boundaries and we can expect Batsmen to rule, however it could be the bowlers who decide the outcome.

In the first game, Australia showed a batting masterclass and their bowlers set up the win. While in the second ODI, the Indian batters setup a win.

It should be a bowl first pitch for captains and toss could be crucial. We will see for the team combinations.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan both injured themselves in the Rajkot game and team management will look into it. For Australia, they might have a look in to Josh Hazlewood.

Whatever it is it promises to be a good game between number second and fourth ranked teams in ODI cricket respectively.

Team news and possible lineups

Rishabh Pant is a doubt for India after he suffered concussion in the first game.
