India will be on a high with their recent Asia Cup victory. After defeating Sri Lanka in the finals, they won the title. In the first two ODIs, they will be without many of their regular players. The core team, however, will return for the final ODI.
In the recent ODI match, Bangladesh locked horns with New Zealand, The encounter had cricket fans on the edge of their seats as both teams showed off their skills and demonstrated the real spirit of ODI cricket.
India won their previous encounter in the Asia Cup finals by 10 wickets. In this encounter, they bowled first and bowled the opposition out for a whopping 50 runs. Mohammad Siraj was spectacular, running in with pace and swing and picking up six wickets. Hardik Pandya also contributed three wickets to the annihilation of the opposition.
The Indian openers completed the game in 7 overs; thus, it did not take them long to get the job done. Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, the two openers, both played well and concluded the game without losing any wickets.

Australia’s batting fell short of expectations, failing to even reach the objective. Mitchell Marsh, the squad’s captain, led the team in scoring with 71 runs. Marnus Labuschagne also scored 44 runs, but it was insufficient in the conditions of the game.
Steve Smith will most likely be ranked third, with Marnus Labuschagne following him. Australia has some good all-rounders in Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green, and Ashton Agar has healed and is making a comeback.
The return of Australia’s seamers, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, will be the biggest plus for the team. Nathan Ellis and Josh Hazlewood will join them, and Tanvir Sangha and Adam Zampa will bat in the spin assault.
