Cricket Australia (CA) previously said public tickets for Friday\u2019s game were officially sold out. A win for either of the two teams will give them a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, after rain washed out the opening game at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, just 9.4 overs after the game began.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After winning the toss, Marsh said Short replaces Josh Philippe in the hosts\u2019 playing eleven. \u201cWe are going to bowl first. Looks a good one, hopefully it won't change for 40 overs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India skipper Suryakumar Yadav said his playing eleven is unchanged. \u201cThat's the brand of cricket we want to play, (attacking) as soon as we go in. It starts with Abhishek, he has been setting the tone along with Gill. Shubman Gill, he knows how to score runs and with him you have to run hard as well between the wickets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In his pitch report, former Australia captain Aaron Finch described conditions at the venue as \"overcast and cold\", noting that the surface might slow down slightly as the match progresses. However, Finch felt it was a \"brilliant wicket for batting,\" suggesting run-scoring opportunities should be plentiful early on in the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
