IND vs AUS 4th ODI Match Preview: Young Rishabh Pant will strive to seal a slot in the World Cup squad even as India fret about their top-order woes ahead of the fourth ODI against Australia, here Sunday. Providing opportunities to all Cup hopefuls would be on Virat Kohli’s mind and the team management is expected to ring in a few changes in the playing XI in the remaining two matches of the series. Mahendra Singh Dhoni seem to have played his last international game in Ranchi and now Pant gets a chance to book his boarding pass for the London-bound flight. In earlier ODIs, Pant had played purely as batsman but with Dhoni being rested, Pant will get a chance to don the big gloves. [caption id=“attachment_6220211” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] India vs Australia ODI series 2019 live score and updates. AFP[/caption] The Indian playing XI will also have Bhuvneshwar Kumar on Sunday as he replaces Mohammed Shami, who was hit on the leg in his follow through during the third match. Shami completed his spell but since he will be sharing the new ball with Jasprit Bumrah in England, it is natural to give him precautionary rest. “We will have a few changes in the next couple of games but the idea is to tell the boys to put in match-winning performances and the boys will be looking to be in top form before the flight to England,” Kohli said after the third ODI. However, what will keep the Indian team worried is the batting form of the top-order, save skipper Kohli, who has been lock, stock and barrel above everyone in his team. Kohli has 283 runs in three games with two hundreds and the next best in the Indian team is Kedar Jadhav with 118 runs. Rohit Sharma is undergoing a rare slump in ODIs, having scored only 51 runs in three innings. Even worse is Ambati Rayudu’s performance at No 4 with aggregate of 33 runs in three games. Shikhar Dhawan’s struggles are well-documented and he has scored only 22 runs in three games. Dhawan and Rayudu’s form should be a cause of concern even though both are certainties as far as place in the World Cup squad is concerned. There are certain problems in both Dhawan and Rayudu’s games but they won’t get adequate time to correct those follies with just two games to be played in five days and the cash-rich IPL to follow soon. Bangar however considers that the shortest of gaps between two games – Friday and Sunday to be a blessing in disguise. “At times, actually it’s good that there is a very small turnaround between matches because if there are too many gaps, then players have that much more time to think. The best for any player is to get back into action and give it another shot. In fact I’m very pleased that the next game is starting Sunday,” Bangar said. While Kohli is not a great advocate of wholesale changes, KL Rahul is also expected to get a look-in but it is not clear who would he replace — Dhawan or Rayudu. India will be worried about Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who despite conceding lot of runs, has managed to get Kohli and Dhoni on multiple occasions. “That’s the sign of a good player. You’re not at your best, not having your best day and still taking those important wickets. Batsmen pride themselves on the same thing – when you don’t feel like you are hitting the ball well, you try to get runs on those days,” Usman Khawaja said. Teams (from): India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rishabh Pant (wk). Australia: Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Ashton Turner, Jhye Richardson, Adam Zampa, Andrew Tye, Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Alex Carey, Nathan Lyon, Jason Behrendorff.

 "Highlights, India vs Australia 4th ODI at Mohali, Full cricket score: Ashton Turner special helps visitors clinch record chase")
And that brings us to the end of the fourth one-day international between India and Australia, with the visiting team maintaining composure, and eventually getting him in a record chase to level the series and keep their hopes of lifting the trophy alive. The decider in Delhi promises to be a cracker of a contest. The visitors will harbour hopes of pulling off their first series win in India in a decade.
For now, it’s time for us to bid you all good night!
Catches win matches, remember! India dropped too many!
This is Incredible from Australia. To come back from 12-2 and chase down 359 with as much ease as swatting flies, you’ve got to hand it to them. But what about Indian catching? Death bowling? #IndvsAus

Four leg byes collected at the start of the over. Singles collected off the next two balls, before Carey chips the ball to Shikhar Dhawan at short midwicket to depart for 21. Turner, however, seals a famous Australian victory by guiding the ball down the ground and coming back for a second run, the winning run coming off a poor throw, one that should’ve been directed at the non-striker’s end but was instead sent towards Pant. A moment that summed up the game.
Australia win by four wickets and the series now heads into a decider at Delhi on 13 March.
OUT! Carey chips the ball to Dhawan at short midwicket with Australia at the brink of victory. Carey will be disappointed to not see his team home. AUS 357/6
Carey c Dhawan b Bumrah 21(15)
After 47 overs,Australia 351/5 ( Ashton Turner 81 , Alex Carey (W) 20)
Turner hammers the ball down the ground for a maximum at the start of the over. Doesn’t quite connect while going for a slog towards deep midwicket, where Jadhav puts down a tough chance. Pulls the next ball towards the square leg fence for a boundary. Turner holes out to Dhawan, who then drops a sitter at mid off, much to the disbelief of his teammates. Carey makes it even worse for the Indians with a boundary off the next ball, collecting a single off the last delivery to keep the strike. 54 runs have been collected off the last three overs (Bhuvi and Bumrah). Australia need 8 to win off 18 balls with five wickets in hand.
After 46 overs,Australia 333/5 ( Ashton Turner 68 , Alex Carey (W) 15)
Bumrah returns for the last set of overs, but leaks big runs, conceding a four and six as 16 are collected off this over Australia nearly home now, needing 26 off 24.
Most runs conceded by an Indian spinner in an ODI:
85 – Piyush Chawla v Pakistan, Dhaka, 2008
80 – Ravindra Jadeja v Windies, Dharamsala, 2014
80 – YUZVENDRA CHAHAL v Australia, Mohali, 2019*
After 45 overs,Australia 317/5 ( Ashton Turner 61 , Alex Carey (W) 7)
A single and a leg bye collected off the first two balls, before Turner smashes a six and a four to bring up his maiden international half-century. Collects a brace off the penultimate ball, before smashing the ball into the stands beyond the midwicket fence. 20 off Bhuvneshwar’s eighth over. Australia need 42 off 30 balls.
After 44 overs,Australia 297/5 ( Ashton Turner 42 , Alex Carey (W) 7)
Pant misses out on a chance to stump Turner at the start of the over. The Mohali crowd clearly doesn’t appreciate it, breaking into chants of “Dhoni, Dhoni”. Pant attempts to flick the ball back to the stumps after a miss by Carey, but misses the stumps and allows the batsman a single, furthering his misery behind the stumps. India further lose a review after Pant appeals for caught-behind against Turner. Bit of a spike shown on UltraEdge, but not enough evidence to overturn the umpire’s original appeal for caught-behind. Chahal concedes 10 off his last over to finish with poor figures of 1/80. AUS need 62 to win off 36.
After 43 overs,Australia 287/5 ( Ashton Turner 38 , Alex Carey (W) 4)
Carey collects a single at the start of the over. Three dots later, Turner opens the face of his bat to guide the ball towards the backward point fence for his third four. Ends the over with a single. Australia need 72 off 42.
Highest individual scored batting at No.4 for Australia in ODIs in India:
156 – George Bailey v India, Nagpur, 2013
130 – Michael Clarke v India, Bangalore, 2007
117 – Peter Handscomb v India, Mohali, 2019*
After 42 overs,Australia 281/5 ( Ashton Turner 33 , Alex Carey (W) 3)
Handscomb holes out to Rahul at the start of the over, the dismissal creating another twist in what has been a see-saw game so far. Carey joins Turner, the former getting off the mark with three off the first ball that he faces — the extra run coming after a fumble by Rohit at midwicket. Turner ends the over with a mighty hit over long on — his second six. 10 runs and a wicket off the over. Australia need 78 off 48.
OUT! Chahal removes the centurion at the start of his penultimate over! Nothing less than huge for the Indians! Handscomb tried going big down the ground, but couldn’t quite adjust himself for the shot, and ended up offering Rahul a simple catch. End of a brilliant innings from the No 4 batsman. AUS 271/5
Handscomb c Rahul b Chahal 117(105)
