Fantasy Cricket League Prediction | Tips and Tricks for today’s match between IND vs AUS 3rd ODI Dream11 Prediction
Wicket-Keepers
KL Rahul is the obvious choice from the Indian team. Rahul is an occasional keeper and was called upon after Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the 2nd ODI due to concussion. In the absence of Dhawan or Rohit Sharma, KL will open the innings.
Absolute class #KLRahul. Luxury to have a player who can bat anywhere.

However, against Australia, KL has been used in the number 3 and number 4 spot; excelling in both spots by scoring 47 and 80. In the 2nd ODI, KL showed no rust in wicketkeeping as he stumped Finch and caught Starc and Zampa.
Batsmen
Australian openers flourished in the first ODI, with both David Warner and Aaron Finch scoring centuries. Although they couldn’t have much of an impact in the second match, expect fireworks from these two in the small Bengaluru ground.
Steve Smith is another must in the team. The former Aussie captain almost led his team to a stunning run chase in the second ODI before falling for 98 runs.
When it comes to playing against Australia, you can always count on one player – Shikhar Dhawan. The opener, whose wife Ayesha Mukherji incidentally hails from Australia, has amassed 1145 runs against the visitors at an impressive average of 45.8. He scored 74 and 96 in the last two matches respectively and would look to go past the three figures on Sunday.
Note: Dhawan suffered a rib injury in the second match and did not field in the second innings. Although team physiotherapists have told that the opener “seems fine”, it is recommended to check the pre-match squad announcement before selecting him.
Virat Kohli is a must-have in the team considering his form. Moreover, Kohli has single-handedly won many run chases in the Chinnaswamy stadium.
Dhawan could have been paired with Rohit Sharma, especially considering his knack of scoring centuries against Australia and his knock of 42 in the 2nd ODI. But the opener suffered a freak shoulder injury during fielding that doesn’t look good. Again, wait for the squad announcement before selecting him.
All-rounders
Ravindra Jadeja is another must as he always contributes with either runs, wickets, catches and run-outs. Moreover, Jadeja is economical and can pick up the odd wicket. In the first two ODI’s Jadeja scored 25 and 20 coming in the lower end of the innings and picked up 2 wickets.
Ashton Agar is another great all-rounder to have. He picked up a wicket in the first ODI besides scoring 25 runs in the second. At 8 credits, he is a great buy. Marnus Labuschagne is another great option here. He scored 33 in the last game and has the ability to come up with useful deliveries.
Bowlers
Australian bowlers Mitchell Starc, Kane Richardson, Pat Cummings and Adam Zampa have all been able to pick wickets despite being tossed for runs; especially in the second ODI. Starc has picked 3 wickets; Cummings has picked 2 wickets; Richardson has picked 2 wickets and Zampa has picked 4 wickets. All of them will be crucial if the Aussies want to win.
The Indian bowling side has come back with accuracy and picked crucial wickets after a dismissive performance in the first ODI. Jasprit Bumrah was very economical despite picking only one wicket in the second ODI. Mohammed Shami hit back with 3 wickets after being hit for 77 runs in his 10-over spell.
Kuldeep’s game-changing over in which he picked both Smith and Carey was vital in turning the game in favour of India. Yuzvendra Chahal has not featured in the first two games. However, he is also a good choice considering he knows and has played on the Bangalore pitch for several years now.
Kuldeep Yadav – wickets in List A games – 115 in 68 matches
101 (in 58 mts) for India (ODIs) 88%
7 (in 2 mts) for India A 6%
7 (in 7 mts) for Uttar Pradesh 6%
0 (in 1 mt) for Central Zone 0%#IndvAus— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) January 18, 2020
Captain & Vice-Captain Choices
Virat Kohli; Steve Smith; David Warner; A Finch.
Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium has an out and out batting pitch. Add to it the fact that it has fast outfield and you have a batsman’s heaven. It, therefore, becomes a sensible move to choose batsmen as your captain and vice-captain.
Our personal favourite for captaincy will be Virat Kohli. He has extensive experience of playing here having been with RCB for over a decade. Steve Smith and Aaron Finch have been in red-hot form thus far and would relish striking Indian bowlers out of the park in Bangalore. They are an ideal candidate either as captain or vice-captain. David Warner is also a great choice as the vice-captain.
