India and Australia are currently engaged in the third match of their three-match ODI series at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot. The Indian team comfortably won the first two matches and currently lead the series 2-0.

During the series, Australian opener David Warner displayed impressive form with the bat, scoring a half-century in each of the three matches. In the third match, he scored 56 off 34, including six fours and four sixes, before being dismissed by Prasidh Krishna. Warner scored 52 and 53 runs in the first two matches in Mohali and Indore.

Warner had also showcased great form in the previous series against South Africa. However, Australia ended up on the losing side as South Africa comfortably won the last three ODIs to claim the series victory. Nevertheless, Warner's exceptional form leading up to the much-awaited 2023 ODI World Cup is a significant boost for the Australian team, especially considering the absence of Travis Head due to injury.

The highly anticipated World Cup is set to commence on October 5 with a match between the finalists of the previous edition, New Zealand and England. The Australian team will begin their World Cup journey with a game against India on October 8.
