OLD TRAFFORD, MANCHESTER - After the two interesting clashes in the odi series the teams will move to old trafford to play the third odi.Although the results of past two games were gone in favor of world champions Australian team as the aussies looked dominating the game most of the time in the past two odi and now they have a chance here to wrap up the series and take unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series.While the Hosts need a win here to stay alive in the series and for that they will need play here out of their shell.It will be very difficult from here for them to win series after trailing 0-2 after first two matches but they will need to take one game a time and also perform better as a bowling unit.Aussies in Both the odi batted very well. David Warner gave them quick start in first odi and was in fine touch but he got finger injury while playing in second odi and is now out of team for remaining three odi.this will left aussies with joe burns and aoron finch to open which looks not a great pair as finch is returning from injury.This will lead to more presure on skipper Steve Smith in the middle order who although is in great form but will need to built partnership with middle order of maxwell and bailey.The All rounder Mithchel Marsh has been the difference between the both teams as the Marsh has been melting gold for his team not only with his lower order hard hitting batting but also took some wickets with that in the second odi to secure them a win.England will be pumped up for this odi after the controversial decision of their Allrounder Ben Stokes.The Hosts were in fine position at that time to give aussies run for their money as the skipper Eoin Morgan was well set and just needed to build a good partnership with Stokes but stokes was given out obstructing the field when he was trying to defend himself from the throw of Starc.Later on England team has decided to give a miss to presentation ceremony of second odi and Skipper Morgan also expressed his dissapointment who completed the protocol in the presentation ceremony.This has gave some more interest in this 3rd odi which will be a day/night contest.
TEAM NEWS
England team looked weak as a bowling unit and even after taking wickets of smith early their bowling was exposed in middle overs.They might think of shuffling the team combination and include David Willey.
On the other hand aussies will not look to make any changes in winning combination.Only injured warner will be replaced by Aoron Finch.They were performing very well with the ball and bat recently and inform Marsh have given them perfect team combination.
PREDICTION
Inform Wrner is a huge loss to aussies and they are likely to get a bad start here i think and if the hosts can get Smith and bailey early in middle order they can control the game.For England Ben Stokes is a dangerous player and after the way he was given out he will be more desperate to perform here and help his team to win.
ENGLAND TO WIN !!
