DHAKA: India have won the toss and opted to bat first against Australia at the Kennington Oval, London on Sunday (June 9) afternoon. 

The high voltage match is scheduled to begin at 3:30pm (Bangladesh Time).
 
Virat Kohli says, "Good track, but it's a used surface, so best conditions to bat and put runs on the board. The bowling attack can get into the attack in the second half. The batsmen chasing will be wary, and scoreboard pressure may count. It's been overcast everywhere, but today it's sunny, so no brainer to bat first”.

Captain Aaron Finch says, "A winning run (of 10 games straight) helps with the confidence, but in a World Cup you're playing different teams so not like a bilateral. We are confident of it despite not a superb game in Nottingham against West Indies."

Australia defeated Afghanistan and then overcame a scare against West Indies, with Nathan Coulter-Nile scoring 92 and Mitchell Starc grabbing five wickets.

India beat South Africa by six wickets.
