India vs Australia 2020 | 3rd ODI, Bangalore: 3 reasons why India won 

#1. The Australian middle-order collapses yet again

Steve Smith did not receive any support for the Australian middle-order yet again.

Steve Smith was like a lone warrior fighting a battle as the Australia middle order crumbled yet again. After Smith and Marnus Labuschagne put on 127 runs for the fourth wicket, the middle order batsmen did not provide any support for the Australian batting star.

After the departure of Labuschagne, Starc went back for a duck, Alex Carey fell against the run of play for 35, Ashton Turner contributed just 4 and Ashton Agar could muster just 11 runs. Smith was left stranded at the other end as he ran out of partners. In a bid to up the ante, he went for a heave over mid-wicket only to find the fielder. The lack of support for Smith hurt Australia in a big way as they ended up at least 15 to 20 runs short.

And in the end, that could have well made all the difference as Australia lost to the 'Men in Blue'.
