CAPTAINS SAY:

STEVEN SMITH

Will look to put a good total on this surface. We have had a good fun and it will be exciting in the decider. We love playing in the crunch games and it’s exciting.

ROHIT SHARMA

We were looking to field first. If at all there will be help for the bowlers and we are playing three spinners, in these dry conditions hopefully we can maximize our spin options. Hopefully we can put our best foot forward. We are playing with the same team.

TOSS UPDATE

Australia won the toss and opted to bat first.

PLAYING XI

Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith(c), Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey(w), Marcus Stoinis, Ashton Agar, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa

India: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

PITCH REPORT:

Pitch is slightly off-center, so the dimensions change and it’s going to be long boundary. The track has covering of grass, has tough through centre. It’s very hard and roughness might come into play in the first innings. Team winning the toss will opt to bowl first as it gets cooler it’s a better to bat.
