Rishabh Ball has been given the captaincy as KL Rahul has been ruled out due to injury. The Indian team led by him has lost the first two matches. The third match will be played today in Visakhapatnam.
Pitch Report:
Not a single match has been played at the Dr. Rajasekara Reddy Ground in Visakhapatnam for the last two years. In 2016, the Sri Lankan team rolled to 82 against India.
The Australians, who made their debut in 2019, had a poor score of 126/7 in 20 overs. Thus, it is expected that the batteries will be exhausted in today’s match. The bounce is said not to be so. Thus bowlers are more likely to engage in wicket-hunting today.
Challenge to India:
The Indian team bowlers have not made a big impact in the last two matches. In particular, spinners Sahal, Akshar Patel and bowler Avesh Khan performed poorly. If they land on a field that is conducive to bowling today, India’s defeat is expected to be certain.
Thus today, cricket experts have demanded the replacement of off-spinner Deepak Hooda and Arshdeep Singh in place of leg-spinner Akshar Patel.
