If Smith stays on then the chance of Australia scoring above 300 will be very high. India needs to get his wicket otherwise rest will be history. He has already reached 99 and after 100 he will blast off.
Finally Steve Smith scored a ODI century after 3 years but i am disappointed with the way they are batting as they are not able to increase the runs rate and Bumrah is bowling tight lines and the run rate is going down rather than going up in the 42th over and now they just reached 238 runs and 6 more overs to go and how much they can get with Bumrah still have a 2 overs left and how much they will score against him who is bowling a tight line  Undecided.

Edit: Another wicket lost  Roll Eyes.

Four wickets down,only Smith is giving resistance to Indian bowling attack while others were failed,I guess this is going to be low scoring match probably 280+ from now is possible only if AUS plays extra ordinarily from now on.Jaddu is having good time on the batting pitch expecting him to pick few more. Wink

5 wickets down but still Smith on the crease with 99 runs. He may manage to bring the score to 320 easily. Ind need his wicket so that they can get the score below 280-300. And those misfields and over throws got them extra runs and leg byes too Sad

Australia tried to experiment to increase the run rate by sending Starc up the order but it did not work and India is bowling a good line and length and Australia will be trying to increase the run rate in the final 10 overs and i am expecting them to score around 310 runs and with the outfield looking good India will be able to chase the total but Dhawan is injured in the field and with the time off the field he cannot open the batting as per the rules.

Two wickets gone. Now Smith has to fall else he can easily take the score to 300+. That run out was fab and for Australia, it was the worst way of losing a wicket when there was no pressure.

This is still anyone game. Australia have made a good start but have lost 2 wickets. On the other hand, India will be hoping to get few more wickets quickly and restrict Australia to 270.

This is where it become a game of nerves and the team who can control their nerves will be the winner in the end.

Correct the game is very parallelly balanced, it can be anybody's game. If these two batsmen continue to bat till 30 over then the match will become very interesting.

Oz winning the toss and deciding to bat is a good decision considering chasing might be little difficult in this final match and also if Smith and Labuschagne bat well they can easily score to 300+ runs and would not be easy to chase such score on this pitch .

Amazing two wickets in the first 10 overs and then as usual over-excited Indian team losing control of the match with pathetic lose fielding and quirky bowling. Good batting by the Australian team. They kept it calm and carried on smoothly.

Decision to bat first on this kinda swing supported pitch can put Aussies on pressure and falling 2 early wickets is the sign. Although finch got run out but batsman are struggling with Indian top seamers. From my experience i can say that spinners will get extra turn on this pitch and india have quality spinners on their side.

On last match kuldeep yadav brings the momentum for Indians and today we can expect same from him. Aussie team have experienced openers but today warner and finch wasn't able to deliver their best performances. So its quite clear that all pressure goes to their middle order batsman. Smith is on great form but in 50 over match you can't depend on a single batsman. If they can bring out enough boundaries rather than thinking of taking singles that will be much helpful in a short boundary like today. A long partnership can take Australia to a score nearly 320 and that will be enough for aussie seamers to fight back.

Indians are stronger with their bowling combination but aussie have lack of spinners on their squad. Although Australian team usually love to fight with their fast bowlers.

My heart and brain says India will win this one as long as the bowlers deliver. Kuldeep and Bumrah are the key bowlers while Dhawan, Rahul and Kohli are the key batsmen for India. On the other hand, Starc and Zampa are they key bowlers while Warner, Smith and Marnus are the key batsmen in my opinion.

Do you think that Australia will win the toss for the 3rd time in a row? And in case that happens, will they send India to bat fist, as they did during the first two matches?
Australia won the toss and Finch chose to bat first. Looks like India will be chasing then. Indian bowlers will probably try to restrict them under 300 while Oz will be looking to pot a total upwards of 320+.

Few hours from now the battle for the final match between India vs Oz will begin and we do expect the good finale match and it’s going to be held in Bengaluru. I do not anticipate any changes would be made to either side unless someone is unfit .

It's going to be a day/night match and therefore the side that is bowling second may face dew issues. And I guess the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is quite infamous for this dew malice. Anyway, no rains are predicted for today and we should not be getting any rain interruption. It is going to be an exciting 8 hours!!!!

I am going with Australia. Have placed a bet of BTC0.01.

Right now Rahul is on permanent player for Indian cricket team no one going to disturb him he already doing some good and stunning innings and going for bright future India was looking something like this so its already in complete package now Kohli can also feel some better in presence of batsman like this.
Not really because he is playing as wicket keeper since Pant got injured so he is not decided as permanent for that position yet by BCCI.But from this series they will consider about picking the right person for long time journey.

There was a same situation in the history when Rahul Dravid was asked to become a partime wicketkeeper and later on he was made a permanent wicket keeper for team India. I think history will again repeat itself, last match he did perform brilliantly as wicket keeper too.

Maybe there are possibilities can be history repeat again because we know how kl Rahul performance as a wicket keeper in last match and get good appreciation from legend cricket players and fans but we can not forget about talent player rishabh pant.

He is giving his best whenever he got chances but presence of dhoni didn't allow him to play more matches unfortunately but now there is a vacancy to fill that spot and he could be a strong competition for that place compared to pant or other wicket keeping batsman.
It looks like India got the best player to fill the spot who can bat really well but you cannot find a replacement for Dhoni because of the skills he had including his leadership skills as well as the finisher he is in the history of cricket.
I forgot to mention that Dhoni's place can be never replaced but KL Rahul also have good wicket keeping skills and very handy when it comes to scoring at number 4 or 5 the place of Dhoni in his earlier career.

Pant can be choose in T20 because of his shot making abilities but he lacks consistency and sometimes simply throwing away his wicket could spoil his international career.

Correct you cannot compare dhoni with K L Rahul, dhoni is a league and Rahul is an upcoming player. At the moment Rahul is the best batsman we can have at the middle level. If he is consistent enough then he can be permanently retained in that level. It is too early to decide.
