Australia is going to face India in a do or die clash at Indore on 1st March 2023 in the 3rd Test match to save the series. Steve Smith will captain the Australian cricket team as Pat Cummins has gone to Australia due to the deteriorating health of one of his family member. Mitchell Starc is confirmed to play the 3rd Test as he as achieved full fitness, while Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the entire series due to his injury taking much more time to heal than expected.
Australia was undone by the Indians in the first two Test matches and has received a lot of backlash from the former Australian and Indian cricketers. David Warner is also ruled out of the series due to a fracture that he suffered in the previous game while batting. Will Lance Morris get his chance to debut for Australia in the 3rd Test, or will Australia stick to playing only one pacer in the upcoming Test match? We believe that Australia will go with two pacers and two spinners in the 3rd Test match.
