Cricket LIVE: Collapse Rocks Australia’s Middle Order as India Fight Back at the SCG
India aims to avoid a 0-3 series loss in the third ODI, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli likely making their final Australian appearances, officials said.
- On Saturday, October 25 at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could play their final Australian ODI as India aims to avoid a 0-3 whitewash, said coach Gautam Gambhir.
- Clinching the background, India team were clinically outgunned in the opening two matches and enter the decider with a poor SCG record of 16 defeats in 22 ODIs, their last Sydney win nine years ago.
- With form concerns, Rohit Sharma posted a composed 73 off 97 balls in the previous game, while Virat Kohli enters the decider with three ducks after consecutive dismissals.
- Tactically, India could prioritise batting depth over bowling, with Axar Patel's form possibly keeping Ravindra Jadeja out and Prasidh Krishna's inclusion deemed imperative.
- Australia have used the series to begin a two-year World Cup build, with Matthew Short, Mitchell Owen, Cooper Connolly impressing and spinners Matt Kuhnemann and Adam Zampa posing key threats.
