Australia and India are all set to take on each other in the 3rd One-Day International at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Wednesday. Australia is coming into this fixture after thrashing India in the 2nd ODI. The hosts won the first encounter against Australia in the series but lost momentum in the second one. India scored just 117 in their 1st innings after Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott fumbled the Indian batting line-up. India was in a tough spot at 32/3 when Rohit Sharma and Surya Kumar Yadav both got out in 2 balls of the 5th over. Mitchell Starc picked a fifer in the first innings at an economy of just 6.6 runs while Sean Abbott took 3 wickets at an economy of 3.8.

Travis Head scored 51 runs while Mitchell Marsh pile up 66 runs which helped the Australian team level up the series. With the series levelled up, it will be a spellbinding game between both these teams as the final battle will decide the winner of the ODI series on 22nd March 2023.

Australia vs India Chance of Winning

A 10-wicket win is bound to give Australia confidence for the final game of the series against India. The Aussies were phenomenal in all departments of cricket in the 2nd ODI as they conquer India. As both these teams have 1 game in the series and are one of the best teams in the ODI format, it will a cliff-hanging event in the 3rd ODI game. The hosts have the home advantage but that didn’t stop the visitors from crushing them in the second fixture.

India vs Australia Match Toss Prediction

The track in MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai is one of the surfaces which supports spin bowlers the most. In the 22 ODI played at this stadium, the team hasn’t reached a 250-run-plus score in all of the matches. The team winning the toss would most likely bowl first on this surface as it would be easy for the team to chase on this surface.
