Rohit Sharma will return to captain India after KL Rahul led them to an unassailable 2-0 lead. In the absence of Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad, India’s captain at the Asian Games, Ishan Kishan may open batting with Rohit, while Virat Kohli will bat at one-down. India may also give Washington Sundar a game instead of Ravindra Jadeja.

Match prediction – Today’s India-Australia live match

The result will not be of as much consequence as how the individuals play here – not because it is a ‘dead rubber’ clash but because both sides will want to have a last look at the cricketers before they announce their final squads for the World Cup.

Having said that, India will take field as favourites.
