Mohammed Shami has been the top bowler for India and has plucked 23 wickets in 6 matches at an economy rate of 5.02
David Warner has scored 528 runs in the last ten matches.
Josh Hazlewood has taken 14 wickets at an economy rate of 4.68 in the World Cup.
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium is expected to be on the slower side to assist the spinners. The ball will move around more under lights and batting first will be an advantage here. According to sources, the India vs Pakistan match pitch will be used for this match too.
There is no chance of rain in the game and a full game of cricket can be expected. A clear sunny sky is expected on the big day with the highest temperature of 32°C.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammad Shami
Australia: David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis (WK), Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins (C), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
Virat Kohli: He needs no introduction and will bat at the No.3 slot. Kohli broke historic records in the last game and scored 117 runs and is expected to deliver with the bat once again.
Rohit Sharma: The Indian skipper has done a flawless job in providing an incredibly good start to his side playing selflessly with an attacking approach to put pressure on the opposition. With his consistent form, Rohit will be a serious threat to the opposition at the top of the order.
David Warner: Since the pitch is expected to help the opening batters, David Warner will look to fire for Australia early. He can easily smash bowlers and score a quick half-century.

Kuldeep Yadav: Kuldeep Yadav’s selection percentage has surprisingly dropped to 27. He is a genuine wicket-taker and will be a top pick for this game. He can turn the ball both ways and can be very effective against the Aussies in this game. Kuldeep picked up 1 wicket in the semi-final against New Zealand.
Pat Cummins: Pat Cummins will be a top differential pick, especially while bowling first. He picked up 3 wickets in the last game and is handy with the bat as well. He will bowl in the middle and death overs and can pick up a few wickets in this match. Cummins’ selection percentage is 17%.
Suryakumar Yadav: SKY has failed to get firing and can be avoided for this match.
