India vs Australia, 3rd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Build up

At a time when ODI cricket is fighting for relevance again post the World Cup with the next showpiece event scheduled to take place only in 2023, India and Australia have certainly managed to grab the attention of the cricketing world on expected lines. Having come from behind last year to win the ODI series in India 3-2, Australia once again proved to be a very tough opposition for Team India as they dismantled the hosts in the opening game. India stormed back big time in the second encounter to set up a tasty series decider in Bengaluru.

With the track expected to be a belter, these two batting heavyweights might put on a show here today. India are expected to bring back Rishabh Pant who had to sit out the second ODI. But who will he replace is the question. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma suffered minor injuries on Friday and if one of them does miss out, Manish Pandey might retain his spot. On the bowling front, India are likely to go in with the same combination.

For Australia, you might see a change in the fast bowling department with Josh Hazlewood waiting in the wings. It will be interesting to see what Marnus Labuschagne does after impressing in his maiden ODI knock. Welcome to the live blog for this final ODI. Hopefully, we have a cracker in store.
