In the third ODI match between India and
Australia held at Indore, India beat
Australia by five wickets and make an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five match
series. Australia won the toss and chooses to bat and they made a score of
293/6 in 50 overs with the help of Aaron Finch
who scored 124 of 125 balls. By chasing the score India rode on a fantastic
opening stand between Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane and then sealed the deal
with Hardik Pandya’s quick fire 78. The team was in a little spot after losing Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav in quick succession but
Pandya operated with a mature head to get the side close to a convincing win.
After
electing to bat, Australia rode on Aaron Finch’s brilliant century but lost
their way as India fought back in the final overs to now allow the visitors go
past the 300 run mark. This was another complete performance by India on a very
batting friendly pitch and gives them another ODI series win under Virat Kohli.
Action now shifts to Bangalore where Australia would eye pride while India
would look to extend their domination. Australia makes two changes to
their playing XI while India are unchanged
