Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to field against India in the teams' concluding Super Eights match. Australia made one change to the team that suffered a shock 21-run defeat by Afghanistan, with left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc replacing spinner Ashton Agar. Victory for India, beaten on home soil by Australia in the final of last year's 50-over World Cup, would put them into the semis. A win for Marsh's team will likely see them into the last four but they will not necessarily be eliminated if they lose, with Afghanistan in action against Bangladesh later.
