Team News

India

With the return of regular opener Rohit Sharma, India are in a little dilemma as they have to pick between KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan as another opener. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant will come next. They are likely to include Ravindra Jadeja, to provide an extra batting option, along with veteran leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.

With Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami are obvious choices, either Navdeep Saini or Shardul Thakur will fill the place of the third seamer. Both are in good form. While Saini troubles with his pace, Shardul can bat too.

Australia

Both Aaron Finch and David Warner will open the innings for Australia. Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will follow next. There are three options available for the number five position: Ashton Turner, D’Arcy Short and Peter Handscomb. Keeping the current form in mind, D’Arcy Short can get the chance.

Wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey might come at number six in the absence of all-rounders Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell. Australia have a power-packed bowling attack with Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Kane Richardson and Adam Zampa.

Pitch and Conditions

The team who batted first, won the game 11 times out of 21 ODIs at the Wankhede Stadium. However, dew will play a big part so chasing is a good option now. The pitch supports the batsmen most and a high-scoring game can be expected. The temperature will be around 27 degrees Celsius in the day time. The humidity will be in the 50s.
