India started their tour with a three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series that ended in a 1-1 draw. It was followed by a historic first-ever Test series win for India on Australian soil.
Virat Kohli's team will now be looking to wrap up the tour with another trophy as the three-match ODI series is evenly poised at 1-1.
India lost the first ODI in Sydney by 34 runs as they failed to chase down 289 despite Rohit Sharma scoring 133 runs.
However, the visitors bounced back in the second ODI by chasing down a target of 299 runs with four balls to spare.
A win on Friday will be India's first-ever bilateral series win in Australia.
