India vs Australia 3rd ODI: Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Best Playing 11 Updates

1. Team News – India

Navdeep Saini like a lot of others on his first tour of Australia, has looked clueless. Such has been his plight that Kohli was forced to bowl Hardik Pandya and even Mayanak Agarwal to complete Saini’s spell after he gave away 70 runs in seven overs. It could well be possible that one among Shardul Thakur or left-armer T Natarajan will be seen replacing Saini.

It could well be a case of both Shardul and Natarajan being given a go in case Kohli decides to rest both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who need to remain fit and fresh for the big-ticket Test series. Yuzvendra Chahal has been the most expensive bowler in the first two games with 160 runs conceded in 19 overs and just one wicket to show for his efforts.

2. Team News – Australia

The Indian bowlers have had no idea where to bowl to Steve Smith, who has decided to single-handedly torment the opposition with back-to-back hundreds. Add to it, Glenn Maxwell’s power-packed finishing at the end of the innings is giving them those extra 30 runs which are creating the difference from India’s perspective as the margin of defeats of 66 and 51 respectively would suggest. They also grapple with the injury of David Warner, who has been ruled out of the white ball fixtures against India.
