Toss
Australian captain Steven Smith won the toss and chose to bat in the third one-dayer in Indore. Australia, already 0-2 down, need to win this match to stay in the series. Batsman Aaron Finch returns to the top of the order, replacing the out-of-form Hilton Cartwright. Batsman Peter Handscomb replaces wicketkeeper Matthew Wade.
India went in with an unchanged side.
