AUS vs IND Match Prediction: 3rd ODI, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – India Tour of Australia 2025 

AUS vs IND: Get ready for another thrilling encounter between Australia and India as these teams will be in action at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The third and final ODI will begin at 9 AM IST on Saturday. India are trailing by 0-2 and are searching for their first win. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details about this game.

Australia Preview 

Australia have managed to win both tosses and taken the advantage of bowling first. They have outplayed India in both matches, despite consistent changes to their playing XI. They will be keen to give chances to players who have not played so far and also record a 3-0 series win.

• Key Batters: Matt Renshaw and Mitchell Marsh will be two players who have shown good form in two games.
• Captaincy: Captain Marsh is setting the tone from the top. He plays in an aggressive manner to give his team a good start.
• Batting Strength: Australia have found batting stars in Cooper Connolly and Matt Renshaw, who have shown good maturity in these matches. Runs from Matthew Short and Mitchell Owen also give confidence to the hosts. Marsh and Head are proven match winners at the top of the order.
• Bowling Attack: Josh Hazlewood has been unplayable in both games and has conceded runs below 3 runs per over. Bartlett and Zampa made an impact right away. Starc is bowling deadly spells up front. Australia have been pretty good.

India Preview 

India have been put under the pump. Their top order has failed in both games, and an inexperienced bowling unit has not helped them much. Most importantly, they need to find the right balance for the team.

• Batting: The top order has been miserable in two games. Gill has not scored anything, while Virat has two consecutive ducks. These are two players with an ODI average well over 55. Rohit and Iyer looked good in the last game, and Axar and Rahul have done well. But India need a flying start at the top.
• Bowling: The bowling has done well in patches. Harshit Rana has been expensive, while Siraj has not picked up early wickets. India lack the wicket-taking options, and sitting Kuldeep out has not helped them much.

Key Players to Watch Out in Australia vs India Match 

Top Batters 

• Matt Renshaw (AUS): Matt Renshaw has been pretty impressive in two games. He has played freely and did well against spinners.
• Mitchell Marsh (AUS):  Mitchell Marsh has looked good in both matches. If he can stay for a while, he is a very dangerous batter to get out.
• Rohit Sharma (IND):  Rohit Sharma had a much-awaited fifty in the last game. He must be high on confidence after that knock.
• Shreyas Iyer (IND):  Shreyas Iyer has incredible numbers at no. 4 and will be looking to carry on his good form.

• Arshdeep Singh (IND): Arshdeep Singh has looked good in two games. He has swung the ball and used variations time and time again.
• Axar Patel (IND):  Axar Patel has been pretty good with the ball. He has bowled wicket-to-wicket, and Australian batters have found him hard to score off.

India’s key players have struggled, while Australian youngsters have performed well. That has been the story of these two games. India have been on the back foot and have struggled to get going, while Australia have not let the momentum go away. Hence, we believe Australia are suited to win the third and final game as well.
