India vs Australia Live Score: Speaking after winning the toss, Marsh said, “Going to bowl first. Looks a good surface, always great to come here and play at this great stadium. Certainly a chance to draw the series. Lots to play for. Both teams have played some great cricket. Was bit of an indifferent surface. India bowled superbly. Different conditions tonight. No changes.”
Meanwhile, Suryakumar said, “Until you’re winning the game and losing the toss, it’s fine. Want to go out and express ourselves. Always good to understand what the team’s goal is. All batters realised it wasn’t a 200 wicket. All boxes ticked in the last game, just want to continue the same. Always good to win bilaterals. At the same time, what combination you want is more important. Other than openers, this is one format where everyone has to be flexible with batting positions. One change -Tilak is resting, Rinku comes in.”
