IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update: The three-match IND vs AUS ODI series was opened beautifully with a compelling low-scoring fixture in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on March 17. Although India managed to pull off the victory in the 1st ODI, at times it seemed to have gone Australia's way. The victory got India up and running in the ODI series with a 1-0 lead and now both IND and AUS are off to their second venue - Vishakhapatnam. Down below is everything you need to know about IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update, Rain Chances and Pitch Report.



The IND vs AUS 2nd ODI is set to be held in Vishakhapatnam's Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on March 19 (Sunday). The contest between India and Australia will begin at 1:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).



With India taking up the lead in the first match itself, Australia will be under the pump to perform highly and win the second encounter to keep the series alive. Importantly, Australia has lost the test series recently and they would want to leave India empty-handed, which makes the ongoing IND vs AUS ODI series important for the visitors.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update</h2>



Vishakhapatnam is expected to see some showers on March 19. The temperature will hover around 26 degrees during the day and is anticipated to drop to 23 degrees celsius during the night. Sky will be mostly covered throughout the day on March 19th. Humidity is predicted to be around 94 per cent. 



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Rain Chances</h2>



The city of Vishakhapatnam is expected to witness good rain showers and thunderstorms on the match day. The chances of rain throughout the day will hover around 31-51 per cent. However, there is as high as an 80 per cent chance of rain during the day and 49 per cent at night.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Pitch Report</h2>



Over the years, trends show Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium to be a batting-friendly surface. However, there has been some help for the spinners too. The ground dimensions aren't too big which makes it easy for the batters to smack the bowlers out of the park. The average first innings score at this venue is clocked at 265 while it drops to 257 in the second innings. Clearly, opting to bat first would be the ideal choice for the captain who wins the toss.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Update, Rain Chances, Pitch Report for India vs Australia 2nd ODI

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: The Men in Blue grabbed a pleasing victory in the 1st ODI on 17 March in Wankhede Stadium and now both, India and Australia will head to Visakhapatnam for the 2nd ODI. IND vs AUS 2nd ODI will be held at the VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam from 1:30 PM IST onwards.&nbsp;



With regular captain Rohit Sharma back in the lineup, Team India will aim to seal the three-match ODI series against Australia on Sunday, March 19. The visitors will be without their regular captain and more importantly, world-class bowler Pat Cummins, during this series. Australian skipper Pat Cummins decided to spend time with his family rather than attend the ongoing ODI series. In his absence, Steve Smith has been given the reins.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/IND-AUS-24.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Pitch Report, Playing 11, Where to Watch Australia tour of India 2023?" class="wp-image-104883" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS 1st ODI: KL Rahul's 73 and Ravindra Jadeja's 45 upset Australia in the 1st ODI </figcaption></figure>



Australia need to win this game in order to keep the series alive. In the first ODI, they were outplayed and bowled out for just 188 while still having plenty of overs left. Even yet, the bowlers produced outstanding cricket, which put India in a difficult position during the short chase. KL Rahul's 75 runs and Ravindra Jadeja's 45 runs and outstanding bowling allowed India to win the match with 5 wickets remaining.



David Warner, who missed the 1st ODI is reportedly healthy enough to participate in the 2nd ODI. A change will be made to the batting order as Alex Carey, who was absent for the first game, is also expected to return. Mitchell Marsh or Travis Head will be dropped from the batting order. Josh Inglis would likely lose out to Carey. By 1 pm IST, when the toss lands, we will be informed of the playing 11.

<h2 id="ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-pitch-report">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Pitch Report</h2>



A recent T20I game between South Africa and India was played here; the pitch was quite slow, which suited the spinners. With an average run rate of 6.04 runs per over in the ODIs played here, the pitch at this venue is reputed to help the batsmen altogether. This indicates that in the forthcoming match, the batters will likely come hard, especially against the pacers.



In this stadium, the average score in the first inning is 241, and in the second inning, it is 211. Typically favorable for batting and assists spinners, but with rain in the forecast, this may not be the case as the ball may skid for pacers.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Team, Pitch Report, Playing 11, Where to Watch Australia tour of India 2023?

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma "disappointed" with India's 10 wicket loss against Australia: Following a low-scoring exciting win in Wankhede Stadium in the IND vs AUS 1st ODI, team India suffered a drubbing at the hands of Australia in the subsequent match to neutralise the lead in the 2nd ODI in Vishakhapatnam, earlier today. The Men in Blue had a bizarre off day at business where nothing went their way but disappointment as they lost the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI by 10 wickets.



Team India skipper, Rohit Sharma was visibly not pleased with how the team performed in the match and expressed his disappointment during the post-match presentation. He reckons that the surface had no such demons and the batters didn't apply themselves to put more than 117 runs on board.



"If you lose a game, it is just disappointing," said Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation. "We didn't apply ourselves with the bat. Didn't put enough runs on the board. It wasn't a 117 wicket. Kept losing wickets and that didn't allow us to get the runs we wanted."



India lost wickets in a flurry and the innings couldn't even get a single partnership going. India's innings was wrapped at a meagre total of 117 runs by the Australian bowlers.



"Once we lost Shubman in the first over, myself and Virat got 30-35 runs quickly. But then I lost my wicket and we lost a couple of wickets back to back. That put us on the back foot. It's always tough to come back from that situation," he added.



Meanwhile, the bowlers also had a hard time troubling the Australian openers, who looked unharmed in their execution. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head were too hot to handle for the Indian bowlers, be it pace or spin.



Australia chased down a total of 117 runs in just 11 overs with 10 wickets intact. They also created a record of chasing the target in the quickest time against India in ODIs - in 11 overs. Previously New Zealand held this record when they chased down 93 runs against India in just 14.4 overs.



<h2>IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma heaps praise on Mitchell Starc</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Rohit Sharma &quot;disappointed&quot; with India's 10 wicket loss against Australia" class="wp-image-104913" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mitchell Starc scalped a fifer against India in 2nd ODI | Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



One of the key architects of the Australian victory against India today was pacer Mitchell Starc, who looked daunting in his first spell. Starc once again threatened the Indian batters with his sharp in-swinging deliveries. He kept the batters guessing and under pressure during his first spell of six overs, where the ball was doing enough movement.



The seasoned pacer scalped the wickets of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul and Mohammad Siraj to complete his ninth fifer in ODI cricket.



"Starc is a quality bowler. He has been doing it for Australia with the new ball. He kept bowling to his strength. Swung the new ball and took the odd-ball away. Kept the batters guessing," said Rohit Sharma.



India and Australia will now square off for one final time on March 22 in Chennai to play out of the series decider. With the series tied at 1-1, the 3rd ODI in Chennai will be crucial for both sides.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: After defeating Australia by 5 wickets, Team India is all set to once again lock horns against the visitors Australia in the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI. KL Rahul-led Indian side indeed looked overpowered against that Australian side. This article will walk you through the India vs Australia Dream11 Team, and Holkar Cricket Stadium (Indore) Pitch Report.

Rahul made his international cricket comeback during the Asia Cup, where he played a crucial role in India's success in Sri Lanka. Under the leadership of KL Rahul, India is leading the ongoing three-match ODI series against Australia 1-0. Through a second straight triumph over the Australians, India would love to clinch the series early.



India won the toss and chose to ball first in the 1st ODI at Mohali. They got regular breakthroughs and a sensational fifer of Shami restricted Australia to just 276 runs. In response, the 142 runs opening stand set the tone and despite losing a few quick wickets, India never seemed in the backfoot and won the match by 5 wickets.



Shubman Gill (74) scored his first ODI half-century yesterday, Ruturaj(71) was exceptional at the top with a half-century and KL Rahul (58*) also smacked a 50 to seal the first victory.



India and Australia will battle in the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore on 24 September. The match is scheduled to start at 1:30 PM IST. While Australia would be highly desperate to level the series, the host will be playing to keep the momentum running and seal the series.

Another batting paradise and going to be better as the game progresses. Some assistance for the bowlers upfront but spinners will have to work hard to grab any wicket. Batting first here is the best choice as the average 1st innings score is above 320.



Pacers have taken 48 wickets at an average of 46.10 in the six games played in this venue, while spin bowlers have taken 37 wickets at an average of 34.24. Out of the six matches, teams batting first have won four times, while the other two have been won by teams chasing.

IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: The number 1 ODI ranked Team India and the host are all set to lock horns against the visitors Australia in the 2nd match of the 3-match ODI series today on September 24, 2023, at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. In this article, we present the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#ind-vs-aus-1st-odi-pitch-report-of-holkar-stadium">IND vs AUS 1st ODI Pitch Report of Holkar Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



India have already won the first match and winning this match will secure the series for them, while any loss to Australia in the upcoming 2 matches will cost them the series and might lower the injury-halted squad's confidence. 



The good news for Australia is that Glenn Maxwell is fit and you might see him running around with the team. His inclusion will definitely strengthen the line-up.



Australia, however, has had a little outlier. The five-time winners suffered their fourth straight ODI loss to India, which is uncharacteristic in a year with a World Cup. In fact, Australia rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat India 3-2 in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup. But this time around, South Africa overcame Australia 3-2 despite falling down 0-2 this time, giving Australia a taste of their own medicine.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/09/Team-India-15-1024x600.jpg" alt="LIVE IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium | India vs Australia 2nd ODI" class="wp-image-120055" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI | Pic Credit: Twitter, BCCI</figcaption></figure>



India, on the other hand, is going through top-notch luck and performance. KL Rahul has a pressure hundred and an unbeaten captain's half-century under his belt. Suryakumar Yadav has some runs against his name. Siraj took a six-wicket haul in the final of the Asia Cup and Shami took a 5-wicket haul in the first ODI. Overall, Team India is in good health and looking promising for the World Cup this year.



Ravichandran Ashwin ought to play again considering his strong performance in the first game. India will be hoping that Iyer and Kishan resume scoring runs. The bowlers will probably be switched around again, though. It makes sense to rest Jasprit Bumrah and play Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami in Indore with just two days between ODIs.



Down below is the IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-2nd-odi-weather-forecast">IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast</h2>



IND vs AUS | The 2nd ODI of Australia Tour Of India will take place on September 24 (Sunday) at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. The play begins at 1:30 PM IST.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/09/IND-vs-Aus-2nd-ODI.png" alt="LIVE IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of Holkar Stadium | India vs Australia 2nd ODI" class="wp-image-120129" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">LIVE IND vs AUS 2nd ODI Weather Forecast Of Holkar Stadium (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/d2127eb893261f5c537714fdcc4bf073db5ad330d0c26ed760f72eb6490b1b5d">weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



According to weather.com, it is an overcast, and humid day with a partially clear sky in Indore city of India. The weather forecast shows a slight possibility of rain during the game. The temperature of India?s Indore city will stay at 30?C for the most part of the day till the evening and drop further to 26?C at night.



There are moderate 33% chances of rain at around 5-6 PM. Around a 15% chance of rain at the start of the play and it goes slightly up to 25% at night. Humidity is in a moderate range, hovering around 70-80%. Winds will gust toward the Northwest at the speed of ~8kmph during the day.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-aus-1st-odi-pitch-report-of-holkar-stadium">IND vs AUS 1st ODI Pitch Report of Holkar Stadium</h2>



The Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore has a reputation for offering batting-friendly conditions, leading to high-scoring contests. This is mostly because of the venue's constant bounce and shorter boundaries (around 70m straight). Spinners could enter the fray as the game goes on, but it will be difficult for them to get wickets.



Some exceptional innings have been scored at Indore, notably Rohit Sharma's insane 36-ball century against Sri Lanka in 2018 and Virender Sehwag's once-highest ODI score of 219 in 2011, 250+ T20I scores and 400+ ODI scores. Expect a brutal test for the bowlers in their World Cup preparation, as well as the best opportunity for out-of-sorts hitters to accumulate some runs.

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa1cda02.jpg" alt="">
With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa7148b9.jpg" alt="">
Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

IND vs ENG: After the T20 series concluded, as Mohammed Shami returned to the shortest format for India after a huge span of absence from the format, the World Cup 2023 hero is back playing a crucial hand in the ODI series against England, which will begin on the 6th of February. 
 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format.

A peek into Mohammed Shami's stunning career despite injuries (Image Credit: X)
Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup.

In what promises to be an exciting and thrilling contest, Steve Smith-led Australia and Dhananjaya de Silva's Sri Lanka are set to lock horns versus each other in the second and the last match of the two-match Test-Series at the Galle International Stadium of Galle from the 6th of February onwards (Wednesday). 
In the opening encounter of the series, the Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable victory by an inning and 242 runs and this win helped them to take an unassailable lead of 1-0 in the two-match series. In such a situation, the Dhananjaya de Silva-led Sri Lanka would be looking to make a strong comeback by rectifying their mistakes in the second match. 
Ahead of this exciting contest, some thrilling player battles will be seen taking place between the star players of both teams which can go on to affect the outcome of the match. We will be taking a look at those player battles in this article
While the Kangaroos have already taken the lead in the series, the home side will have the chance to make a strong comeback by taking advantage of the home conditions on offer. It will be interesting to see which team finishes out on top in these player battles and which team succumbs to the pressure. 
<h2>Dinesh Chandimal versus Matthew Kuhnemann</h2>
Australia's left-arm orthodox spinner Matthew Kuhnemann failed to create an impact with the ball in the first ball, ending the match with 0 scalps to his name but he can trouble Sri Lankan batters on the spinning track of Galle. 
This will be especially very challenging for experienced wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. He is a good player of spin, has a good record against them and also he knows the conditions of Galle quite well but the variations of Kuhnemann can trouble him in the second Test-Match.
<h2>Prabhat Jayasuriya versus Usman Khawaja</h2>
Australia's experienced opening batter Usman Khawaja is in great form with the bat and he also possesses' an excellent batting record on Subcontinental surfaces. While the Australian team management would be happy to see him performing, they might be a little worried in the 2nd match as experienced left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya can trouble him a lot. 
The 33-year-old has excellent variations up his sleeve and has knack of performing brilliantly in spin-friendly conditions and home conditions. He also got the better of the Southpaw in the opening encounter, dismissing him when he was batting on the score of 232 runs and Jayasuriya would be looking to get the better of Khawaja again in the final match of the series. 
<h2>Other notable player battles</h2>
Apart from the two above-mentioned player battles, the battle between elite Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon and promising Sri Lankan batter Kamindu Mendis will also be worth watching out for. 
Angelo Mathews will have to rely on his batting technique to tackle the speed and swing of Mitchell Starc and at the same time, Asitha Fernando has the ability to trouble the Australian duo of Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and bounce.
