    What's the story

    India and Australia will clash in the 3rd and final ODI at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

    It will be a dead rubber as the hosts have already gained an unassailable 2-0 lead.

    It will be the last ODI for the two sides before the ICC Cricket World Cup.

    History

    India yet to rout Australia in ODI series

    Over the years, India and Australia have clashed in some riveting encounters in both bilateral series and multilateral tournaments.

    Notably, India have never whitewashed Australia in an ODI series (three or more matches). Even the Aussies haven't attained this feat.

    Australia won the last two ODI series against India by a 2-1 margin.

    India's last ODI series win over Australia came in 2020.

    Information

    India rested senior members for the first two matches. In the final match, they are expected to make a comeback.

    Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have smothered eight ODI tons against the Aussies.

    David Warner returned with half-centuries in the first two matches.

    The former can surpass David Boon (1,212) to become Australia's fifth-highest run-scorer against India in ODI cricket.

    On the other hand, leg-spinner Zampa (33) could displace Glenn McGrath (33) to become the fourth-highest wicket-taker for Australia against the Men in Blue in the 50-over format.
