India made a great start in the series by winning the first two ODIs in Hyderabad and Nagpur and a series win was looking just a formality but in the next two ODIs in Ranchi and Mohali they lost the plot a bit and allowed Australia to made a strong come back and the series is now level at 2-2 and both the teams will face off each other in the series decider at Feroze Shah Kotla in Delhi tomorrow.
This is the last ODI match for India before ICC Cricket World Cup so they'll look to finish on a high note with a series win. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma came among runs and that's good news for the team and in the middle order, Rishabh Pant, Vijay Shankar and Kedar Jadhav have played useful knocks and if both batting and bowling department put up a collective performance then India should win the match as well as series.
On the other hand, Australia's confidence must be high after two back to back wins especially after their record 359 run chase in the last ODI at Mohali and they look to carry their winning momentum into tomorrow's ODI. Usman Khawaja is in outstanding form and if captain Aaron Finch supports him then they can set a good platform. Peter Handscomb and Glenn Maxwell too have played a few good knocks but Shaun Marsh's form is a big concern for them who has looked completely out of form so far and in the lower order, they have Ashton Turner and Alex Carey to finish innings on a positive note. In bowling Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson and Adam Zampa have been excellent so far.
