Australia defeated India by 66 runs in the third and final ODI on Wednesday in Rajkot, snapping a five-match losing streak. Mitch Marsh (96), David Warner (56), Steve Smith (74), and Marnus Labuschagne (72) all scored half-centuries for the Australian squad, showcasing their batting skills. Australia amassed a staggering score of 352 for seven thanks to their stellar effort, giving them more confidence going into the 2018 World Cup.

Washington Sundar (10-0-48-0) was India’s most outstanding bowler on a day marked by devastation. India had no choice but to take a risk when they batted. Sharma was in excellent form despite the absence of Shubman Gill, who had been playing well.

But the only batter to succeed in putting the Australians under pressure was the Indian captain. During his time in the middle, when he hammered 81 off just 57 balls, it appeared that the hosts may yet succeed in chasing down the target. After 21 overs, India was on 144 when he was dismissed, which caused a stir.

The other hitters gave it their best go, scoring 56 off 61, 48 off 43 for Shreyas Iyer, 30 off 30 for KL Rahul, and 35 off 36 for Ravindra Jadeja, but none of them were able to strike out at the necessary pace. There were more wickets as a result of the rising asking rate.

However, the top order was destroyed by Glenn Maxwell’s outstanding bowling performance of 4/40, leaving the weakened lower order fighting to maintain consistency in the chase.
