Mitchell Starc is set to make a comeback to the Australian team along with Glenn Maxwell for the third ODI against India. During the pre-match interview, Starc was asked a lot of questions. Starc spoke about the management of the squad. “We have used quite a wide squad of players, whether that be managing players or players coming back from injury, trying different combinations and whatnot,” Starc said.
Starc felt that the toss and conditions went against Australia in the first two ODIs of the series. “I think we have seen the wickets change throughout both the games, depending on who batted first and in different places. Spin was a massive factor in the second innings the other night (in Indore). We played well under lights in Mohali,” added the Australian star pacer.
Starc further said that Australian players with IPL experience will play crucial roles. “We have got a lot of guys with IPL experience, we know that the wickets are going to be very different through the night and day, depending on which part of India we play as well — not too many grounds we have played back-to-back games so, conditions are going to play a part,” added Starc.

‘It is a big day for both teams tomorrow’ – Mitchell Starc
Speaking about the scoreline of the series, Starc felt bad but added that the third ODI would be crucial for the preparation for the tournament. “Obviously, leading into the World Cup, it is not a position we want to be in but plenty to play for tomorrow — what the make-up of our team looks like, what we want to take into our World Cup campaign,” said the left-arm pacer.
Starc declared India as the favourites to win the ODI World Cup 2023. “We have got two more opportunities after this game, before the World Cup — another chance to be accustomed to the conditions and adapt to what is being thrown at us against probably the favourites for the World Cup. It is a big day for both teams tomorrow,” said Starc.
Here is how the fans reacted to the statement of Starc –
They are having a good batting combination for tomorrow I think Aussies going to defeat India , to prevent themselves from the whitewash .
