Toss

MS Dhoni has won and decided to bat first. “Just a bit damp the surface is. First half an hour is important for us, but the pitch should become slower and slower and help our spinners. Of course these are two knockout games. But in the past we have done well when pushed to the wall.” India are playing the same side.

Ricky Ponting: There is little bit moisture on the top, but we would have batted too because this will get slower and slower. There should be some swing here early, and we have to exploit it.

Result – Australia beat India by 6 wickets
