After winning the toss, Australia skipper Alyssa Healy said Kim Garth and Grace Harris are in the playing eleven and replace Darcie Brown and Annabel Sutherland. \u201cGoing to have a bat today. Let them run around in the heat today and see how they go. Had a bad day (via a record 102-run loss in second ODI), which doesn't define us as a group.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe know what we need to do. Need to create more pressure for longer periods of time. Just adapting quickly to different conditions is going to be important. Start times will be a little different (in the WC),\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India, buoyed by their commanding 102-run win in New Chandigarh, will look to clinch their first-ever bilateral series victory over Australia in ODIs. The Indian team will also be a sporting a special pink jersey in Saturday's game to promote Breast Cancer Awareness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur said India are fielding an unchanged playing eleven, which means Renuka Singh Thakur is fine to bowl after going out mid-way in the 17th over of the second ODI in New Chandigarh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe talk about playing good cricket, doesn't matter what we do first or second. Playing our best cricket, that is something that always keeps us in the game. Want to go in with the same positive mindset today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saturday\u2019s game will be played on the centre pitch, with former Australia player Rachael Haynes anticipating that its flat nature means the surface will be full of runs for the team batting first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Deep Dasgupta, former India wicketkeeper-batter, opined that the pitch may be a little slow in the first half due to hot weather and the venue hosting Delhi Premier League (DPL) games in August and may be good to bat under lights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
