India vs Australia 2017, 3rd ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match

#4 Australia's middle-order lets them down

Maxwell has had quite a poor run in recent times

When the openers finally gave the visitors a perfect platform to launch from, the middle-order shut down the momentum by consuming a lot of balls and allowing the Indian spinners to get on top. Finch and Steven Smith had taken Australia to 216/1 in 36 overs but the former's wicket resulted in Australia losing the plot.

Glenn Maxwell, who has had a quiet run in the ODI side of late, struggled to score and piled the pressure on Smith, who holed out. Maxwell, Head and Handscomb followed in quick succession as Australia's innings spiralled out of control.
