Hello and welcome to the Live commentary of match three of the ODI series between India and Australia. The series decider will take place at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The first ODI at Wankheded was dominated by the Indian Team whereas Australia got the better of the hosts at Vizag in the previous game. The final will answer a lot of questions about the two teams in terms of their squad and playing combination for the upcoming ODI World cup which is going to take place in India. The series has so far seen the pace bowlers having a treat in the middle as both the matches ended as low-scoring encounters. One can expect slightly different conditions in spin-friendly conditions in Chennai. Australian seamers seem to have got the rhythm while Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh have been instrumental with the bat for the Aussies. One can expect a change in the batting order if David Warner recovers from his injury sustained during the BGT Series. India on the other side will look to give another opportunity to the eleven that featured in the previous games. It will be a cracker of a contest at an expected full house at the Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai!<\/p>\n\n

PITCH REPORT:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Head to Head:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n TOSS:-<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Steve Smith, Australian Skipper<\/strong><\/span>: "We are gonna have a bat. Looks like a very dry surface and it is pretty hot out here as well. Will look to put some runs on this surface and defend later on. We have had good fun in the series which has been very competitive and it will be exciting in the decider today. We love playing in the crunch games and it's exciting for us to come out and put upna show. Ashton Agar and David Warner comes in to the side. Cameron Green sits out due to bad health.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Rohit Sharma, India Skipper<\/strong><\/span>: "We were looking to field first. If at all there will be help for the bowlers and we are playing three spinners today like last game, in these dry conditions hopefully we can maximize our spin options. It's an important game and finals are always exciting. It's always good to be in such situations. It's a challenge for us to come back after what happened in the last game and play some good cricket under pressure when it matters the most. Hopefully, we can put our best foot forward and win the series"<\/p>\n","PostMatchCommentary":" Powerplay (1-10 Overs) :-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Australia- 61\/0 (6.1 rpo, 9x4, 3x6) <\/strong><\/span> || <\/strong><\/span>India- 67\/1 (6.7 rpo, 6x4, 3x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Middle Overs (11-40 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n Australia- 148\/7 (4.9 rpo, 10x4, 2x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>India- 137\/5 (4.5 rpo, 8x4, 3x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Death Overs (41-50 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n Australia- 60\/3 (6.6 rpo, 3x4, 3x6) <\/strong><\/span>||<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong><\/span>India- 44\/4 (4.8 rpo, 1x4, 1x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n It was Australia's call to bat first after winning the toss. Head and Marsh were once again successful to get Australia off to a good start but the middle order once again failed to have a major impact. Aussies managed to put up 269 runs on the board with Marsh being the top scorer with 47 against his name. Hardik Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets to his credit while Jadeja bowled economically conceding just 34 from his 10 overs. In reply, India got a good start courtesy of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill who added 65 for the first wicket. Kohli and KL Rahul too got a good partnership between them but could not capitalize on it. India kept losing wickets and the Aussies managed to put breaks on the scoring rate which ultimately resulted in India falling short by 21 runs. Adam Zampa picked four scalps and was impressed with the way he operated. Australia fought well and came out victorious against India on Indian soil which deserves a round of applause. All in all, it was a hard-fought series between the top two sides in World Cricket at the moment. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Rohit Sharma, India Skipper:<\/span> "I don't think it was too many runs on the board. We didn't bat well, to be honest. Partnerships are crucial while chasing and that is something we failed to do in this game. We know the wickets well and it's important you apply yourself while you're in the middle. After the start, it was important for one batter to carry on and take the game deep. It just didn't happen today. We can take a lot of positives from the nine ODIs since January. We need to understand where we need to improve and execute accordingly."<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Steve Smith, Australian Skipper: "It's been an enjoyable tour overall. I would say We didn't play our best cricket, good enough to get over the line though. This wicket was entirely different today, we left a few out there with the bat and could have got more. But the spinners bowled beautifully, with really good performances from Zampa and Agar. It was a grind to get the India batters out from the moment when they were cruising along. Happy with the way things have gone."<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Adam Zampa is the Player of the Match<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Adam Zampa: "Yes, I have had some success here. It's a tough place to come and deliver, always a huge challenge when you're playing in India against India. I try to stay in the game and be competitive always. Ashton Agar changed the game today and helped me with my spell too. Kudos to the bowlers who bowled before me as they set the tone really well for me. "<\/strong><\/span> Mitchelle Marsh is the player of series<\/strong><\/span> Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the 2nd ODI between two of the biggest cricketing nations, India and Australia at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. India came out victorious in a low scoring encounter at Mumbai, where KL Rahul and Jadeja batted with utmost composure to take India home with an unbeaten century partnership. With Rohit Sharma coming back into the mix, India would be hoping to seal the series. Ishan Kishan is expected to make place for Rohit in this match and also KL Rahul coming back to form is a big plus for India keeping in mind that the world cup is just a few months away. As for Australia, Alex Carey who was out of the mix in the 1st ODI due to illness is expected to return for this encounter. About David Warner, we will have to wait and watch for if he has recovered from the concussion and if he will be available for selection. Let's head into this cracker of a contest and see what's waiting ahead for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n HEAD TO HEAD :-<\/span> <\/p>\n\n PITCH REPORT: <\/p>\n\n TOSS:-<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n\n Steve Smith, Australian Skipper:<\/strong><\/span> "We will bowl first. This is a different wicket and it has been under covers for a while. We learn a lot from playing at these pitches. We have a couple of changes, <\/strong><\/span>Nathan Ellis comes in for Maxwell who is a bit sore and Alex Carey comes in for Josh Inglis<\/strong><\/span>." <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Rohit Sharma, India Skipper:<\/strong><\/span> "Doesn't really matter now (Laughs on asking what he would have done if he had won the toss). We have to bat well and let's see where we end up after the 1st innings. Every game is a pressure game when you play for India. Two changes for us too, <\/strong><\/span>Ishan misses out and I am back for him. Shardul is also out and Axar replaces him<\/strong><\/span>. We would have bowled first if we had won the toss, given that we have 3 spinners and playing 3 spinners is also something we might go into the world cup with."<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","PostMatchCommentary":" Powerplay (1-10 Overs) :-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n India- 51\/5 (5.1 rpo, 6x4, 0x6) <\/strong><\/span>|| Australia- 112\/0 (11.2 rpo, 15x4, 6x6)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n Middle Overs (11-26 Overs) :- <\/strong><\/p>\n\n India- 66\/5 (4.1 rpo, 3x4, 2x6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Australian Team after suffering a defeat in the first ODI came back in some fashion getting the Indian team all out for just 117 after asking them to bat first. The opening Spell from Mitchell Starc proved to be lethal as he managed to get four out of the top five wickets with just 48 runs on board. Only Virat Kohli and Axar Patel got decent starts but failed to convert the same into big scores. Mitchell Starc's fifer was well-complimented by Ellis and Abbott from the other end. In Response, The Australian openers Mitch Marsh and Travis Head came out all guns blazing and finished the run chase in just 11 overs. The series is well poised after this dominating effort from the Australian Unit especially after suffering a heavy loss in the series opener at Wankhede. We will now move on to Chennai for the series decider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Rohit Sharma, Indian Captain: "It was not a 117 wicket by any means. We did not apply ourselves and play well. We did manage some runs in the middle but again failed to make big partnerships as we kept losing wickets at regular intervals. It was one of those days when nothing goes your way. Taking nothing away from the Aussies, Starc did what he has been doing for the team. Mitchell Marsh is one of the top batters when it comes to power hitting and we saw that in the first ODI too. It is important for us to move on from this and bounce back."<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Steve Smith, Australian Captain: "Was a quick one today. Only 37 overs in the entire game. Mitch Starc was brilliant with the new ball which put them under pressure straight away. There was no total in mind for restricting the Indians just that we need to stick to our plans. We were just trying to execute our plans. Just that kind of a day when the edges went to hand and we managed to hold onto them. The way Travis Head and Mitch Marsh played at the start was phenomenal. They just kept going at a good rate and we are able to bounce back after the loss in the last game".<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n Mitchell Starc is the Player of the Match. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n Mitchell Starc: "I have learned the trade over the years and am now able to do it regularly. My rhythm has been good lately. My length is a little fuller than before and in comparison to other guys in the team. I have been given a definite role in the team and I stick to that. My conversations are a little different compared to someone like Cameron Green or Sean Abbott. The tracks in both games have assisted the seamers, especially with the breeze going around. My role is to attack stumps and get early dismissals and I am happy that I have been able to do that for the side"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","MatchRow":2,"ProjectedScore":"550","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Mitchell Starc","MOM_TYPE":"","MOMPlayerId":"31","MOMRuns":"-","MOMBalls":"-","MOMWicket":"5","MOMRC":"53","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/XHdRoNJcjl167897041231.png"},{"CompetitionID":101,"MatchID":737,"MatchTypeID":1,"MatchType":"One Day D\/N","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2023-03-17","MatchDateNew":"17 Mar 2023","MatchName":"India VS Australia","MatchTime":"13:30","GMTMatchTime":"08:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2023-03-17","FirstBattingTeamID":2,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Australia","SecondBattingTeamID":1,"SecondBattingTeamName":"India","FirstBattingTeamCode":"AUS","SecondBattingTeamCode":"IND","GroundID":21,"GroundName":"Wankhede Stadium","Commentss":"India Won by 5 Wickets ","TossTeam":"India","TossDetails":"India won the Toss and elected to Field","TossText":" won the Toss and elected to Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"188\/10 (35.4 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"191\/5 (39.5 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2023-03-17 13:30:00","city":"Mumbai","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":159,"GroundUmpire2ID":42,"GroundUmpire3ID":87,"RefereeID":86,"HomeTeamID":"1","HomeTeamName":"India","HomeTeamColor1":"","HomeTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamColor1":"","AwayTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamID":"2","AwayTeamName":"Australia","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"17 Mar 2023","MatchEndTime":"23:00","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"50","ROUND_ID":"0","MatchTypeName":"ODI","RowNo":1,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Australia tour of India ODI series 2022-23","GroundUmpire1":"KN Ananthapadmanabhan","GroundUmpire2":"Nitin Menon","ThirdUmpire":"Virender Kumar Sharma","Comments":"India Won by 5 Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/aus.png?v=6","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/aus.png?v=6","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000046-06b5ba89f88b11","CurrentStrikerName":"Ravindra Jadeja","StrikerRuns":45,"StrikerBalls":69,"StrikerFours":5,"StrikerSixes":0,"StrikerSR":65.21,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/79QmhrD1Xm167898878846.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000019-80e59e32e99c11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"K L Rahul","NonStrikerRuns":75,"NonStrikerBalls":91,"NonStrikerFours":7,"NonStrikerSixes":1,"NonStrikerSR":82.41,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/7SLmRc6mOh167898881119.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2018-100mb00000000031-b334eaf6f08611","CurrentBowlerName":"Mitchell Starc","BowlerOvers":"9.5","BowlerRuns":49,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":3,"BowlerEconomy":4.98,"BowlerSR":19.66,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/XHdRoNJcjl167897041231.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"89.83","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"188\/10 (35.4 Overs)","1FallScore":"188","1FallWickets":"10","1FallOvers":"35.4","1RunRate":"5.27","2Summary":"191\/5 (39.5 Overs)","2FallScore":"191","2FallWickets":"5","2FallOvers":"39.5","2RunRate":"4.79","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"2","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"1","MatchOrder":"1st ODI","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":" Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 1st of the three ODIs between India and Australia.

Hardik Pandya will lead the side in absence of Rohit Sharma who will join in later in the series. India is currently the best team in the format while Australians are placed second in the ICC Men's ODI ranking.

It was Mohammad Shami who ran through the middle order picking up 3 wickets in no time. Australia lost their last 8 wickets for just 59 runs. India in response lost four wickets for just 39 on board after which Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul put up a 44-run stand off just 55 balls to get India back in the game. But it was the unbeaten partnership of 108 of 123 balls between KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja that took India Home with a little 10 overs to spare.

As we have seen the Bowlers have had a little bit of help throughout the series. This track too has a covering of grass and also has rough in the center. It's quite hard and the roughness might be a factor in the first innings. It might be slightly two-paced initially in the game.
