Australia win toss, elect to bat first against India in 4th ODI

Bengaluru, Sept 28 (UNI) Australian captain Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth one-day international against India played at M Chinnaswamy stadium here today. India has already clinched the five match series winning the first three games to recapture the top spot as the world’s number one one-day team. Australia also made two changes bringing in Wicket keeper Matthew Wade's come back in for Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa replaces Ashton Agar. Skipper SteveSmith felt that the wicket in Bengaluru had changed from the last time the Australians played here. It will slow up as the game goes. It has been a bit disappointing being three games down and losing the series but the team was eager to get back to winning ways. After losing the toss Indian skipper Virat Kohli said the wicket looked dry despite the rain as it was covered well. This was compared to the last season of IPL in 2016. It has to do with leveling the outfield and the par score could be less but it is likely to settle down under lights The par score has come down to 143 from 190. The wicket tends to settle down under lights. With the series in its kitty, India made three changes to give match experience to the other players by bringing in fast bowlers Umesh Yadav, Mohammad Shami and spinner Axar Patel in place of Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. The Teams: India (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni( wk), Axar Patel, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Yuzvendra Chahal. Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Aaron Finch, Steven Smith(c), Travis Head, Marcus Stoinis, Peter Handscomb, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Kane Richardson and Adam Zampa.
