Bengaluru: Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and opted to bat against India in the third and final ODI of the rubber at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, here on Sunday.
Speaking at the toss, Finch said: “Looks like a good wicket. If we had gone into the backovers three down, we could have chased it down. Josh Hazlewood in for Kane Richardson.”
On the other hand, Indian skipper Virat Kohli expressed: “It’s a dry pitch, and it’s always been a difficult pitch to defend on. There might also be some dew later on. The execution of yorkers was excellent. Same team, no changes.”
