India vs Australia, Live Score: Pitch report
“Lush green outfield. 66m and 67m square boundaries, 79m hit down the ground,” says Sanjay Manjrekar before he hands it over to Brad Haddin. “Beautiful covering of grass and it’s very even. It’s (surface) a lot harder than the previous games. The average first innings score is 311. I think there will be a lot more skid than spin,” opines Brad Haddin.

India vs Australia, Live Score: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss
Conditions are much better here, looks like there’s good weather. Decent temperature as well, we’re just looking forward to this game. The breaks are more important from a mental perspective than a physical one. Very happy with how we played, almost everything we wanted to do we got it done. Gives us a chance for us to see what we want to do. Looks a bit dry, it’s going to play slightly better under lights, we wanted to chase anyway. Let’s see if we can make use of the two new balls. Myself, Virat, Kuldeep are all back. From the last game, Ashwin is also missing, Washington is in. Ishan is not well, he’s got viral fever so he misses out.

India vs Australia, Live Score: Here’s what Pat Cummins said at the toss
We’re going to have a bat. Looks like a good wicket, not sure how it’ll change in the 100 overs. Good to get game time for everyone, don’t want to go into a world cup cold. Results haven’t gone our way but good day to change that. Different conditions here but we’ve played a lot over here so no surprises. We’ve made five changes, Starc and Maxwell are back. Tanveer Sangha is making his debut.

India vs Australia, Live Score: Historic clean sweep on the cards
Never before in the history have India whitewashed Australia in the ODI format. In fact, neither of them have achieved such a result, home or away, irrespective of the number of matches played in a series. Given how perfectly everything has panned out for the World Cup hosts in the lead up to the mega tournament, it would only be fitting that India finish with a deserving 3-0 score-line.
