India vs Australia Chance of Winning
After a dominant performance in the first ODI, India backed it up with another win in the second ODI at Indore and sealed the series (2-0). Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first and made key changes to the lineup. Ruturaj Gaikwad was dismissed early in the innings by Josh Hazlewood, Shubman Gill (104 runs) and Shreyas Iyer (105 runs) added 216 runs for the second wicket and quick fire half centuries from KL Rahul (52 runs) and Suryakumar Yadav (72 runs) powered the score to 399/5 in 50 overs.
In reply, Australia fell on the backfoot early in the chase as Prashidh Krishna on his return dismissed Matthew Short (9 runs) and Steve Smith (0 runs) early in the innings. David Warner (53 runs) and Marnus Labuschagne (27 runs) steadied the innings before rain interruption. The target was then revised to 317 runs in 33 overs. Ravichandran Ahswin dismissed Labuschagne, Warner and Josh Inglis in quick succession and Jadeja backed it up with two more wickets. Sean Abbott (54 runs) and Josh Hazlewood (23 runs) added 77 runs for the 9th wicket but the target was way too much for the tail as India bundled out Australia (217/10 in 28.2 overs) and won the match by 99 runs.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohi, Hardik Pandya and Mohammad Siraj are expected to return to the lineup, Jasprit Bumrah has been given some time off before the World Cup. On the other end, Australia are expected to bring back Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis in the final ODI in place of Matthew Short and Josh Inglis, while Pat Cummins is likely to be rested for the 3rd ODI.

India vs Australia Betting Odds
India to score over 56.5 runs in the first 10 overs @ 1.85 (Melbet)
India scored 66 runs in the first 10 overs in the 1st ODI and in the 2d ODI the scoring rate was much better as they managed to score 80 runs in the powerplay overs. The surface at Rajkot is a good batting track and with both the Indian openers in top form, we predict India to score over 56.5 runs in the first 10 overs @ 1.85 (Melbet).
India vs Australia Top Batters
Shubman Gill to be the top batter for India
Shubman Gill has been in phenomenal form in One Day Internationals in recent times. He scored a match-winning half-century (74 runs) in the first ODI and backed it up with a classical hundred (104 runs) in the last match and he is the leading run-scorer in the series (178 runs). The surface at Rajkot is a flat batting track and with Gill in such good form, we predict Subhman Gill continue his good run of form and be the top batter for India.
David Warner to be the top batter for Australia
David Warner is back to his usual best and he was the top scorer (52 runs) for Australia in the first ODI and he continued his good form in the second ODI scoring another half century (53 runs). Warner has a phenomenal record against India (1118 runs in 24 matches and 519 runs in 11 matches in India). We believe Warner is the ideal player to bet on to be the top batter for Australia.
India vs Australia Top Bowlers
Mohammad Shami to be the top bowler for India
Mohammad Shami registered his career-best figures (5/51) in the first ODI and backed it up with another match winning spell in the second ODI (1/39). Shami has a very good record against the Aussies (38 wickets in 23 matches) in One-Day Internationals and the last time India played against Australia, Shami was the top bowler. We predict Shami to produce another magical spell and be the top bowler for India.
Adam Zampa to be the top bowler for Australia
Zampa was the top bowler (2/57) for Australia in the first ODI and he was economical in the second match (1/67). Zampa has picked up 34 wickets in 21 matches against India. The surface at Rajkot has some turn of offer for the spinners and the conditions are ideal for Zampa. The last time Australia played at Rajkot against India, Zampa was the top bowler for Australia (3/50) and we back Zampa to produce a similar spell this time around and be the top bowler for Australia.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: India
The odds in favour of India to win the match are 1.73, while in favour of Australia to win the match are 2.10. India emerged as the better side in the last two matches played in the series and with the core team back for the 3rd ODI, India will enter the contest as favourites to win the match, while Australia struggle to find the right bowling combination. The last time India and Australia played at Rajkot, India won the match by 36 runs. Our final prediction for the 3rd ODI is India to win the match and cleansweep the series (3-0).
- India to win the match @ 1.73 (Melbet)
- Australia to win the match @ 2.10 (Melbet)
