MUMBAI: Australia captain Ricky Ponting won the toss and decided to bat first in the final one dayer of the seven-match cricket series against India here on Wednesday.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said senior player Rahul Dravid has been 'rested', with Dinesh Kaarthick replacing him. Fit-again left-arm seamer RP Singh came in for S Sreesanth.
Australia go into the match with an unchanged side. In-form opener Matthew Hayden is yet to recover from his hip injury, which earns Brad Hodge another chance to get some runs under his belt.
Teams: India: Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Dinesh Kaarthick, Robin Uthappa, Irfan Pathan, Murali Kartik, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh.
Australia: Adam Gilchrist, Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting, Brad Hodge, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brad Hogg, James Hopes, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, Mitchell Johnson.
