India look to make it 4-0 in Bengaluru

India will look to make it 4-0 when they take on Australia in the 4th ODI in Bengaluru. Australia will be hoping that they don’t remain win less in the series.

Date and Time : 28th September 2017, 1:30 PM IST

Venue : M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

India will be riding high as they have claimed their 4th consecutive series victory in 2017. India deserves a lot of credit for their success as they have succeeded with both bat and bowl.

Australia have not played their best cricket in the series so far, that’s also one reason that India have got it easy in the series.

Virat Kohli has ample opportunity now in the 4th game as the series is sealed to experiment with the squad. He can rest a few players and test new players.

It promises to be a good game on Thursday as both teams will look to win.

Team news and possible line-ups

Australia will be without the services of Ashton Agar as he fractured his left finger in Indore and is ruled out of the ODI series.

James Faulkner will likely replace him as Adam Zampa can be taken for plenty at the Chinnaswamy.

As for India, they will likely experiment in this game. Kedar Jadhav might make way for Lokesh Rahul. Whereas Mohammed Shami might come in place of either one of the two pacers.

Axar Patel might also get the nod in the Bengaluru ODI in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Rest of the team will remain the same.

Australia XI : Smith (C), Warner, Finch, Head, Handscomb (WK), Maxwell, Stoinis, Faulkner, Cummins, Coulter-Nile, Richardson.

India XI : Kohli (C), Rahane, R. Sharma, L. Rahul, M. Pandey, Dhoni (WK), Pandya, K. Yadav, B. Kumar, Bumrah, Chahal.

Prediction

Though it’s not going to be easy against the current world champions Australia but I expect India to beat the Aussies in the fourth one-dayer.
