India vs Australia LIVE Score 4th ODI: Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat first. Virat Kohli has made three changes to the playing XI. The Australian cricket team has looked like a mere shadow of its past. The World Champions have been thrashed by India in the first three ODIs and will now take the field at the bowler’s graveyard, M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Thursday afternoon to save some pride. Since winning the 2015 ODI World Cup in their own backyard, Australia have lost 20 of their last 48 matches. India on the other hand, is in a fine form, winning 9 of their last ODIs. The good part is that Australia have not given up. Vice-captain David Warner while addressing a press conference ahead of the 4th ODI said that there is a lot of pride at stake. Bengaluru is known for leaking runs and would be set to welcome son, Virat Kohli. As far Australia is considered, they need runs from their captain Steve Smith.
Match Update: Sunil Gavaskar says there are a few cracks on the wicket but the ball will come onto the nat nicely. We should expect a high-scoring encounter. The update from the middle is that Steve Smith has won the toss and he has elected to bat first. Changes for both the sides: three for India, two for Australia. The score is 64/0 after 11 overs.

12:20 PM: Bengaluru is known to be a high-scoring ground. We have not seen a 300 plus score in this series so far and Bengaluru might just be the perfect venue for it.
11:59 PM: Australia have been let down by its middle-order. Steve Smith would want more runs from Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell and Peter Handscomb. He can also consider sending the in-form Marcus Stoinis up the order.
