India vs Australia 2019: 5 reasons why India could win the series  

#1 History in favour of India in deciders at home

The deciders always bring the best out of Team India

This is not the first time that the Indians are finding themselves in a must-win situation to save an ODI series at home.

In the last ODI series against West Indies, the Windies were in with a chance of levelling the series going into the last ODI with a score of 2-1 in favour of India. But India bundled out the Windies for 104 to win the last match by 9 wickets and the series 3-1.

Before that, in the three-match series against Sri Lanka in December 2017, Sri Lanka took the lead by winning the first ODI at Dharamsala. India won the next ODI at Mohali by 141 runs. With the series tied 1-1, India once again saved a home ODI series by winning the last ODI at Visakhapatnam by 8 wickets and the series 2-1.

New Zealand, like Sri Lanka, took an early lead in October’2017 and still India came back to win that series 2-1. Even in October’ 2016, New Zealand met with the same fate with the series locked at 2-2. India won the last ODI by 190 runs.

The last time an ODI series was tied 2-2 against Australia in 2013, Rohit Sharma scored a double hundred in the decider at Bengaluru.

From the above statistics, it is quite clear that whenever the Indians were pushed to a corner in the form of a decider at home, they had come back with a vengeance by winning the deciders by huge margins.

The decider in the ongoing series against the Aussies at Delhi on Wednesday could be no different.
