India has won the toss and elected to bowl first, because the pitch has been under cover for some time and there might be something for the bowlers early on, says MS Dhoni.
Nishant Jain: "@Andrew I am surprised you guys are here to do the
commentary for this match. How will you be able to focus on just the
commentary today? How are you managing to not look at cricinfo's news
feed?" It helps that all the news is being furiously processed by my
colleagues sitting in earshot.
Mihir: "Slow news day??? Haven't you heard of Sachin's Retirement??
That's the biggest news of the year..." Clearly either my humour is
being missed by many of our readers, or I'm not as funny as I think.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter.
While you wait for the captains to do their thing, have a read of Kanishkaa Balachandran's preview.
India have not played a Twenty20 since last December, but Australia
have lost 6 of their last 7 matches. There shouldn't be too much rust
though, as most of these players have been at the Champions League over
the last month.
Ketan: "Is there rain around?" Doesn't seem to be at the moment, but the forecast is not fantastic.
There's nothing much going on at Cricinfo towers today of course, so we're very grateful for this match on a slow news day.
Welcome to ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the first and final Twenty20 of
Australia's limited-overs tour of India. Toss details and toss will
arrive in 15 minutes or so.
