Even though the fate of the three-match series between India and Australia was already decided in Indore, in the final fixture at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Gujarat on Wendesay (September 27), it was Australia who registered a consolatory victory to end series 1-2. India had already won the first two matches of the series. This was both the teams’ last ODI fixture ahead of the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 set to commence on October 5. Even though both these teams will play two warm-up matches before the marquee event, those haven’t been granted official status.
In an inconsequential game from the series’ point of view, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. They then managed to post 352/7 with each of their first four batters smashing half-centuries, with Mitchell Marsh narrowly missing out on a hundred. In reponse, even though Rohit Sharma slammed a superb 81 with Virat Kohli also scoring a half-century, no other batter could really take the chase deep and India eventually went on to lose the match by 66 runs. Glenn Maxwell finished with a four-wicket haul.
