Speaking on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast on Friday, October 24, Clarke said: “I’m going to say they’ll stick with Starc and Hazlewood, and I’ll go with Joshy for leading wicket-taker in the game. I’ve gone with Virat so far; he’s got two ducks. I’m going to go with Virat Kohli for leading run-scorer in this game. Hazlewood leading wickets, and Virat leading run-scorer.”

“And I’m going to say India win, so 2-1 India wins. I predicted 2-1 Australia, so I don’t mind if India wins this game, one of my predictions, right? But yeah, look, I just hope it’s a really good game of one-day cricket. India won’t want to go home without a win, and like I say, you’re leading into the T20s as well, so a lot of the players will go into that format wanting to take some confidence. I’m hoping it’s a good game,” he further added.
