TOSS: India A won the toss and elected to bat first.
PREVIEW
A confident India A, boosted by Shikhar Dhawan`s brilliant double century, will take on their consistent Australian counterparts in what promises to be a high-scoring tri-series final on an absolute featherbed at the L C de Villiers Stadium here on Wednesday.
India have lost both their round robin league matches against the Australians by close margins but Cheteshwar Pujara and Co will hope that `Law of Averages` catches up with the opposition side.
India A will certainly go into the match with a lot of confidence after Monday`s `Dhawan Mayhem` against the Proteas but Australia, who have been the best side in the tournament, will certainly chalk out some elaborate plans to stop the star-studded rival batting line-up.
All eyes will be on Dhawan, who has dazzled with his superb strokeplay, and one would expect him to fire when it matters the most.
