Our AI model predicts India A to beat Australia A in the third unofficial ODI at Cricket Association Puducherry Siechem Ground on 11 October 2026, a 58% call for the side that is 2-0 down. The market agrees almost exactly. Australia A won the first game by 125 runs and the second by 69, but both wins came from batting first after winning the toss, and India A have beaten this opponent before.
Can India A's top order hold firm for a full chase this time?
The pattern in this series is clear. Chasing 275 against Australia A on 6 October 2026, India A were 24 for 3 after 3.5 overs and were bowled out for 149 in 31.4 overs. Chasing 276 on 9 October, they were 30 for 3 after 8.3 overs and finished on 206 all out in 45.2 overs.
Rajat Patidar is the batter who has held the innings together. He made 53 off 51 balls against Australia A on 6 October and 67 off 82 balls against the same side on 9 October 2026. India A need a partner to stay with him through the middle overs.
The bowling has had its moments. Suryansh Shedge took 4 for 40 in 7 overs and Yash Thakur took 3 for 47 in 9 overs against Australia A on 6 October, when the visitors were 87 for 5 after 16.4 overs. Arshad Khan added 3 for 56 in 9 overs in the 9 October game.
Before this series, India A beat Afghanistan A by 101 runs on 17 June 2026 and Sri Lanka A by 66 runs in a final on 21 June 2026.
Australia A have batted first twice, but can they set a winning total a third time?
Australia A have posted 274 and 275 batting first in this series. Nathan McSweeney made 123 off 135 balls against India A on 6 October 2026, the backbone of a total of 274 all out in 48.2 overs. Sam Konstas made 67 off 88 balls in the 9 October game, when the total reached 275 all out in 49.5 overs.
Their bowlers have struck early. Mahli Beardman took 4 for 23 in 6 overs against India A on 6 October, and Spencer Johnson took 3 for 35 in 8 overs against them on 9 October 2026. Both times India A lost three wickets before the tenth over was done.
The question for Australia A is whether the formula holds if they lose the toss and have to chase on this ground for the first time in the series.
Key Matchups: Patidar, McSweeney and the first ten overs
Rajat Patidar vs Mahli Beardman and Spencer Johnson: Patidar made 53 off 51 on 6 October, the day Beardman took 4 for 23, and 67 off 82 on 9 October, when Johnson took 3 for 35. If he gets set again, India A have a platform.
Nathan McSweeney vs Suryansh Shedge and Yash Thakur: McSweeney's 123 off 135 came in the same innings in which Shedge took 4 for 40 and Thakur 3 for 47 (6 October 2026). India A have found wickets around him; the challenge is removing him.
Sam Konstas vs Arshad Khan: Konstas made 67 off 88 against India A on 9 October 2026, and Arshad Khan took 3 for 56 in 9 overs in that game. An early wicket here would test Australia A's middle order.
