After back-to-back defeats in Perth and Adelaide, India head into the final ODI at the SCG with pride on the line. Australia have already sealed the series 2–0 following a tense two-wicket win in Adelaide, leaving the visitors desperate to avoid a rare ODI whitewash.
The match may be a dead rubber on paper, but for Shubman Gill and his men, it’s a chance to show fight and end the tour on a high. India’s batting has struggled badly in the series, with Virat Kohli enduring a nightmare run with two consecutive ducks, while Gill himself has failed to get going as captain. Rohit Sharma’s 73 in Adelaide was the only bright spot in an otherwise inconsistent series.
Australia, meanwhile, have been buoyed by their emerging stars. Matt Short, Cooper Connolly, Mitch Owen, and Matthew Renshaw have all impressed, giving the hosts plenty of confidence heading into the summer despite currently being in a transition. Mitchell Marsh’s side will now be eyeing a clean sweep, something Australia have never managed against India in a bilateral ODI series.
With clear skies and a sold-out SCG expected, Saturday’s contest promises an electric atmosphere even without a trophy at stake.
