India vs Australia 2020 3rd ODI Live Cricket Score
Left chasing shadows in the first two games, a listless Indian team would undoubtedly alter their bowling combination to avoid a second straight clean sweep when they face Australia in the third and final ODI on Wednesday. A 3-0 loss to Australia would be their second loss in a straight ODI series after having suffered the same fate in New Zealand earlier this year.

“We are very determined to go out and win the next game and see that it is not a clean sweep,” said senior hitter Shreyas Iyer when asked what his team can do to stop Australia’s first in 20 years.

The first two games turned out to be celebrations in which Australia out-batted Virat Kohli’s men and, before they move on to the T20 series, a win at the picturesque Manuka Oval could make their confidence that much better. Skipper Kohli has been the first to admit that they have been “outbid” in both games and some corrective action is expected to get their campaign back on track.
Navdeep Saini, the fastest bowler in India, like many others on his first tour of Australia, has had no idea. Such has been his plight that Kohli was forced to throw a Hardik Pandya and even Mayanak Agarwal to complete Saini’s spell after giving away 70 runs in seven overs.
It could well be possible that one between Shardul Thakur, with 27-game international experience, or rookie yorker sensation, left point guard Thangarasu Natarajan, is seen replacing Saini.
