India Aim To Avoid Historic Clean Sweep In Final ODI Against Australia In Sydney (Preview)
Sydney Cricket Ground: India will look to avoid a clean sweep defeat when they take the field for the third and final ODI against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. With the hosts sealing the series 2-0 through a narrow two-wicket win in Adelaide, it becomes important for India to get a consolation victory.
With just a day’s gap, there isn’t much time for India to regroup and avoid being clean-swept for the first time since their 2022 tour of South Africa. Rohit Sharma’s gritty 73 and Shreyas Iyer’s calm 61 offered some resistance, but concerns remain around Virat Kohli’s form, who registered consecutive ducks for the first time in his ODI career.
With both veterans potentially playing their final match on Australian soil, India will hope for the batting stalwarts to sign off from the ODI leg of the trip on a high. Having fielded an unchanged eleven in the first two games, India may consider changes for the Sydney clash.
