India vs Australia Prediction
Though Team India started off well with a goal in the initial minutes of the match to take an early lead, their defense looked a bit weak at moments of the match as Australia got ahead of them to dominate the proceedings.
India head coach Craig Fulton stressed on Team India winning more penalty corners to find the main source of goals. It would be interesting to watch how they come out in the last game of the series.
Prediction: Australia is expected to win the game and clean sweep 5-0
