In the first two matches, Indian batsmen were sweating in front of Mitchell Starc’s pace and swing. If Starc continues his form, it will be a big challenge for India in the final match as well. Aussies hope in Mitchell Marsh’s explosive batting in the batting line-up. Marsh has hit 11 sixes in two matches.

Talented players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav in the Indian line-up have yet to perform as expected. In the first match, the performance of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja helped India. After a fierce battle, India took control of the match, but the Aussies settled the score in the second match. After restricting India to 117 runs, Australia won without losing a single wicket in just 11 overs.
Starc, who took 3 wickets for 49 runs in 9.5 overs in the first match and 5 wickets for 53 runs in 8 overs in the second ODI in Visakhapatnam, is hoping for Australia. Starc Border, who was out of the team due to a finger injury, returned to the team in the Gavaskar Trophy. Despite not being able to contribute much in the Test series, the player has proved that he is still dangerous in the ODI series.
At the same time, everyone is watching to see if Suryakumar Yadav, who was dismissed on the very first ball he faced in both the matches, will be given another chance. Both times Suryakumar Yadav succumbed to Starc’s inswinger in a similar fashion.
