Team India eye series win as they play Australia in the 3rd ODI in Ranchi of Australia’s 2019 India tour
Date and Time : 8th March 2019, 1:30 PM IST
Venue : JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi
Team India will be extremely happy with their performances over the course of two one-dayers and will now be aiming for a possible whitewash.
If they win at Dhoni’s hometown then it will be a historic series win over the Aussies. So they will be up for it.
India know Australia are gonna come hard at them and they will be very much prepared. As usual Bowlers and Batters will both need to come good.
On the other hand, The Aussies are in all sorts of trouble at the moment after loosing consecutive ODI’s. They need to raise their game.
India will not make it easy for them and playing in the subcontinent is always tricky. But Australia just need to apply as they are a world class team.
It’s a do or die situation for them and an all round performance is needed.
India are behind in terms of the ODI head to head against Australia and they will look improve upon that record.
Team news and possible line-ups
Australia are likely going to play the same XI as in the previous game.
