With less than three months before the opener of the 2019 Cricket World Cup in England, defending World Champions Australia — who have not won a bilateral one day international series in more than two years, per CricBuzz — appear to be rounding into the form that saw them dominate global ODI cricket just four years ago. They now stand one win away from defeating India in a five-game ODI series on the host’s home turf, if they can win the fifth and deciding match, a 50-overs contest that will live stream from Delhi.
To find out how to watch a live stream of the fifth India vs. Australia ODI match, with the winner claiming the series trophy in the big, pre-World Cup five-match contest, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article.

India took two of three in a series Down Under in January, and took the first two in the current series. But behind a rousing 84 not out from just 43 balls by Ashton Turner, per CricInfo stats, Australia came back in the fourth match to level the series by chasing down 359 with 13 balls to spare.
That successful chase was the fifth-highest in the history of one-day international cricket, per CricBuzz , as well as a record for Australia — and record for any team chasing down a total against India.
