Australia was able to bounce back as the visitors won the third ODI at Ranchi by 32 runs. It was a dominating batting display from the Australian batting line-up as they posted 313 runs. Usman Khawaja and Aaron Finch anchored the innings for the tourists. It was a fine performance from the visitors as they were able to hit the ground running. Cricket Addicitor tries to decode India’s Predicted Playing XI for the fourth ODI at Mohali.

On the other hand, India’s openers could not get going once again. Indian skipper Virat Kohli scored a sublime hundred but lacked the support from the other end. Thus, India will like to come up with a collective performance in the fourth ODI at Mohali.

It was a must-win match for Australia and they were able to stay afloat in the series. Adam Zampa also played a key role as he scalped three wickets.

This is how the series stands.
