India have lost two matches. I would say their batsmen have played very well. But their bowlers are not successful. Their performance are very bad . If their bowlers can’t improve themselves in the next match too, they will be whitewashed by Austrelian squad. MA Starc said, they want to whitewash India in this series.
Australia will white wash India in this series and the pitches are batsman friendly and the bowlers are not getting any assistance from the pitch and you cannot complain them as both teams are struggling with their bowling and the reason they are getting the wickets is because of the big score they are able to put on the board, next one i would like to see India winning the toss and batting first and lets see whether we can see any difference.
India will not be able to win even if they bat first. At least I think so. If you look at the strategy of the Australians team, they want to save wickets without looking at the run rate in the first 20 overs. But the Indian batsmen batted aggressively from the start. And quickly lost wickets. Even if Australia bat later, I think they will keep their strategy right. I am hopeful they will win the last match too

Shikhar and Mayank was playing with confidence but ended up losing the wickets. I guess there’s zero chance left unless captain VK turns into Hardik Pandya now  Cheesy But that's unlikely to happen.
At the end of 17 overs, India scored 109 runs by losing 2 wickets. If the Indian team does not lose wickets very quickly, we will see a competitive match. Because there are some great batsmen in the Indian squad. India need 281 runs off 198 balls.
Scored 185 at the end of 29 overs still 126 balls left But need 206 so the equation turning into T20 standards, only India batsman looking in good touch is Virat likely to post another century under his stats in this match.KL Rahul and Virat in the middle now still Pandya is out there so if they score at 9 runs oer over then they can win this match.
Can india score 130 runs on the last 10 overs and save the match ? This is too difficult target but india still have six wickets in hands. Few good overs with 15+ runs can change the direction of the match. Can Pandya and Rahul become the hero for the indians today ?
I don't think so India can win this match. India need more 102 runs in just 38 balls with 5 wickets remaining. KL Rahul is gone for 76 . Another win for Australia on the way.Australia is really dominating in this series .  
India require another 72 in 26 balls, though it looks very difficult for India to win it but alteast they would lose by less margin this game compared to first. Also, everyone did contribute from bat though Virat if could have completed his century things probably would have being different and also not to forget Rahul superb innings of 76 with 5 sixes.

Australian bowlers were wayward and they knew that India was never going to get there. There was a lot of complacency from the part of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. Starc has failed for the second consecutive match. He is a pace-bowling legend, but his recent performances are appalling. Series is decided now, with Australia leading 2-0. At least for the final match, Kohli can do some experimentation, resting players such as Saini and Chahal.
If they are into experiment mode then Virat should give rest to Bumah or Shami (They are playing all 3 formats) and include Natrajan in the playing squad. Give Saini full series for experience, it was his 7th ODI match so he could use more games.

Hmm.. I guess I have to agree with you there. Thangarasu Natarajan is an exciting bowler and he will add variety to the Indian pace battery. Right now all their bowlers (with the exception of Jadeja) are right-handed and the addition of Natarajan will be like a game changer. No issues in sticking with Saini. He is a promising young bowler, so can be given one more chance in the ODI series.

At one point I felt they will be able to match the score but they could not yet, they were able to reach 338. Not bad by the Indian batsmen they did fight till the end. Very disappointed by the performance of the Indian bowlers if they had balled well then Australia would have not been able to score such a huge target. Still enjoyed the game as both sides batsmen performed really well.

Australian pitches are made to be easier for batsmen. It would be harder for the bowler to turn the ball. Kohli and Iyer though made a good partnership, they couldn't maintain a good runrate. They were on the crease for more time but seemed like they were playing the first innings while chasing a huge target. If such is the case even in T20, I don't think India would get even a win.

Including one more pacer into the team can give stability so its good idea to give rest to Chahal and go with four full time pacers which may do some changes from their past performance. Modern day cricket becomes high scoring games, so bowlers need to evolve to keep the match more exciting as before.

Scored 185 at the end of 29 overs still 126 balls left But need 206 so the equation turning into T20 standards, only India batsman looking in good touch is Virat likely to post another century under his stats in this match.KL Rahul and Virat in the middle now still Pandya is out there so if they score at 9 runs oer over then they can win this match.

Scoring at such a rate is near impossible against the Australian bowlers, although some of them seems to be out of form. Both Starc and Cummins are struggling to find good line and length. The tight bowling from Hazlewood made the difference in this match (as well as the last one). Both the teams are looking weak in their bowling department and I believe this may be due to lack of match practice.

It does not matter if India lost by few runs or a big margin. It will result in the loss of the all important one day series against Australia. That would be a big upset for them.

It’s the same target as we have seen some of the IPL matches  Cheesy May be Hardik Pandya will hit some sixes at the end as he did in the last match and the margin will get reduce a little at the end. No way India can win the match.
This series has been a nightmare for the Indian bowlers. T Nataranjan should be in as he is in the squad.

Virat missed his another century. It could be an interesting match if he could play some more overs. Now, required run rate is above 14 which seems almost impossible to achieve from this stage although two good hard hitter is there.

The issue is not with the Indian batsmen but the bowlers did not bowl well in both the matches. Bumrah, Shami and Saini giving away too many runs.
Perhaps they need to re-evaluate the pitches in Australia, if they want to win the matches here. It is unexpected disappointed performance by the Indian team.
