Cricket : Live - India vs Australia, 3rd ODI Match

Saturday, October 23, 2010

Weather report: Put all the speculations of rain ruining the match aside, it is bright and sunny in Goa and the sun is beating hard. There has been a lot of rain over the last couple of days and in the context of that, we may be in for a fabulous day. The covers are slowly coming off which is a good sign, the pitch is being rolled. There are puddles of water near the boundary ropes and it may delay the start of the game by about an hour
The Indians are riding high on the success in the tour so far as they have won all the games they have played against the Aussies (even if it was only 2 Tests and 1 ODI). The fact that they could send back the No.1 ODI team in the world winless will boost the entire dressing room to give their all in the final ODI. For the Australians, another series sweep looms large and they will be going into the last match under immense pressure. They are faced with an unfamiliar situation having lost all their matches so far and they will be looking to up the spirits in the camp ahead of the tough Ashes.

Teams:
India (From): MS Dhoni(w/c), Yuvraj Singh, Vinay Kumar, Saurabh Tiwary, Rohit Sharma, Munaf Patel, Ashish Nehra, Suresh Raina, Praveen Kumar, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Murali Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja
