India vs Australia 2019: 5th ODI, Delhi – Match Preview; After the scintillating action in the four ODI games of the series, now, it is the time for a decider at Feroz Shah Kotla. The home team, Indian National Cricket Team is under the pump after the back-to-back setbacks in the ODI series. Meanwhile, the visiting camp is in a positive state of mind.

India would like to seal the series at Delhi:

The Virat Kohli-led side stunned by the loss at Mohali. In fact, on a previous couple of occasions, India got their toss decision wrong. They felt that the dew would make an impact in Ranchi, which wasn’t the case and in Mohali, they felt that Dew won’t be a factor but it made an impact.

Perhaps, they would stick with the same batting lineup, who did brilliant enough in the 4th ODI game. The openers got back to their rhythm with Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma scoring brilliantly. In between, it would be interesting to see the batting position of Virat Kohli at his home ground.

They might tinker a bit in the bowling department. Bhuvneshwar Kumar looked ineffective in the death bowling while the lack of the fifth bowler is affecting the team dearly. Australians have decided to go against Kedar Jadhav, which is working for them brilliantly.

Australians got the momentum:

On the other hand, the visiting camp is more than happy, especially, after pulling out a couple of games on a trot. The batsmen are standing to the occasion to make things fall in place. The sudden emergence of Ashton Turner is a massive positive for Australian camp, who is turning things for his side.

They would be happy to go with the same unit for the final clash as well. Though the bowling department saw a bit of tinkering, they would like to stick with the same unit. In between, Marcus Stoinis is still injured. However, the form of their batsmen is a great piece of news for Australia.

Pitch Conditions:

The history says that the pitch at Feroz Shah Kotla has always been a paradise for the batsmen. It would once again be the same for batsmen and a run-feast is on the cards. Most Probably, another hectic day for the bowlers is awaiting in the final ODI of the series.

Match Prediction:

Well, it would be a bit tough to pick the winning team. Australia is high on confidence while it is a matter of pride for Indian National Cricket Team, who already lost T20I series. The Virat Kohli-led side might make the most of the home conditions, as they know how it would play.
