Australia vs India: 5 reasons why India won the 3rd ODI

#5 Poor fielding from the Aussies

Glenn Maxwell put down a sitter at point

The Australians have set high fielding standards throughout the past years. The likes of Ricky Ponting, Andrew Symonds, and Michael Clarke were razor sharp in the field and would grab even half chances that were offered by the opposition. However, the current Aussie line up does not have such star fielders. Glenn Maxwell is the best of the lot but he somehow dropped a straightforward catch offered by M.S Dhoni on the very first ball he faced. Dhoni would go on to score 87 runs. He was again dropped on the score of 74 by Aaron Finch at mid off. Both the dropped catches were vital moments in the game. To go along with the missed catches, M.S Dhoni and Virat Kohli survived many close run-out calls as the Australian fielders failed to hit the stumps. Dhoni and Kedar converted many ones into twos and twos into threes with their sharp running and some mediocre fielding from the Aussies.
