India vs Australia 5th ODI Preview and Dream11 Cricket Team
Welcome to our India vs Australia 5th ODI Preview and Dream11 Cricket Team. Australia finally won a match in last outing, and they would like to keep going in 5th ODI. While the series is sitting on the number 3-1, we are heading to Nagpur for the final ODI.
Australia might want to snatch another victory after their infamous drought. Finch has been fantastic, Warner is getting in, and Handscomb scored well, too. However, their strength lies in the almost perfect line-lengths of their pace bowlers.
Talking of fast bowlers, Yadav and Shami didn’t impress many in their returning ODI, and 334 proved to be too much for the Indian batting, that kept losing wicket at crucial times. Their top order is finding the rhythm needed, but apart fom Dhoni and Pandya, middle order looks shaky.
When and Where:
Ind vs Aus 5th ODI,
1st October 2017, 1:30 PM IST
Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur
Pitch and Conditions:
Nagpur has always produced crazy turning pitches which help India more, however one official warning from ICC, and the pitch won’t be the same for the ODI. Scores nearing 280 are quite possible.
India: Though Umesh Yadav and Mohd. Shami didn’t enjoy their outing much and looked out of the place, there is a strong chance of them getting another chance. Axar Patel wasn’t tested much in the ODI, so he will play for India once again. That means if Kuldeep yadav come in Playing XI then he likely to replace Yuzvendra Chahal.
Australia: Finch, Warner and Smith have found their form, Handscomb had a cameo that should make Maxwell anxious. Maxwell have to work hard to be back on the XI. Zampa and Richardson complemented NCN and Cummins really well im the last match. Australia would like to win again, so that means it would be same XI again
Probable XI:
India: Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli (c), KL Rahul/Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, MS Dhoni (wk), Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav,Kuldeep Yadav/Chahal
Australia: David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steven Smith (c), Travis Head, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis/Maxwell, Matthew Wade (wk), Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson
