Preview
The third ODI between India and Australia will be played on Wednesday. The home team has pocketed the series already and will be looking to whitewash the Virat Kohli-led side. Moreover, this is not a dead rubber by any means with the 10 points up for grabs in World Cup ODI Super League. India, on the other hand, are yet to get off the mark in the league.
Australia will miss David Warner who has been ruled out of the third ODI and the three-match T20I series. They have also rested Pat Cummins for the remainder of the white-ball matches. Even India will be looking to rest one of their premier pacers and test their bench strength.

AUS vs IND Top picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:
Steve Smith has scored two centuries in last two matches and there is no surprise that he is a top pick for this match. Virat Kohli showed his class with the 89-run knock at the SCG in the second ODI. Adam Zampa is another brilliant bowler who has picked six wickets so far in this series. Hardik Pandya’s all-round skills will be useful for India yet again but it remains to be seen if he bowls in this game.
