Since the beginning of 2016, India have lost just one out of 14 bilateral One-Day International series at home, 2-3 to Australia in February-March 2019. Four years on, Steve Smith’s men are in a position to ensure that history repeats itself as the teams face off in the series-deciding third ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Wednesday.
Contrary to norm and expectations, this short white-ball showdown has been dominated by the ball, and by the pacers specifically. If India rode on the heroics of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj to fire Australia out for 188 in the opener in Mumbai, then Mitchell Starc paid them back in the same coin two nights later in Visakhapatnam in a telling exhibition of left-arm furious allied with late swing into the right-hand batsmen.
