Summary
India, which had lost to Pakistan in its opening match at the Champions Trophy campaign, will face Australia in a do-or-die match at Super Sport Park today. Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is facing a tough time in making his choice with his boys. His frontline bowlers failed to click against Pakistan. Dhoni is fuming over the distasteful game showcased by his boys in the match against Pakistan. It seemed we had three or four part-time bowlers. You cannot set a field for bad bowling, he maintained. Given the slowness of the Super Sport Park track, Dhoni may opt for an extra spinner in leggie Amit Mishra to replace the average Rudra Pratap Singh. The India captain is also likely to go in with an extra batsman and all-rounder in Abhishek Nayar, who can be useful with his medium pace and may come in for Virat Kohli. For Australia, it will be a tricky task to adjust to a slow Super Sport track from a pacy Wanderers strip. The Australian middle-order has been wobbly but the return of Vice-captain Michael Clarke will strengthen the line-up. Todays match is set for the perfect clash between the world No.1 and No.2 for the lead.
