After drawing T20I series and winning first ever Test series in Australia, India will look to carry the momentum into the three-match ODI series that starts in Sydney on Saturday. World Cup is just 4 months away and both teams will make their team plans keeping an eye on this mega event. India will be without their star bowler Jasprit Bumrah who is rested for this series and in his absence Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav will be the key bowlers.

In batting, India's middle order batsmen Kedhar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik etc have a good chance to cement their world cup spots. On the other hand, Australia will look to return on winning ways after a disappointing 2018 and will hope that the return of Usman Khawaja, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon will bring positive results.
