What Match 28 of the ICC World Twenty20, 2014 When Sunday, March 30, (13:30 GMT | 19:30 Local | 19:00 IST) Where Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur The Teams Australia The team from Down Under haven’t been able to maintain the high they came in with after the Ashes success. With two losses in as many matches in the tournament so far, Australia are staring down the eliminating barrel. Darren Lehmann can only hope the desperation will bring out the best in his team. Australia’s pace-centered bowling attack has understandably struggled on the slow and low Mirpur wicket, conceding 175-plus runs in both matches. George Bailey might consider reversing his decision of leaving Brad Hogg out of the XI in the last game. In such spin-friendly conditions young leg-spinner, James Muirhead, would prefer playing a support hand to an experienced campaigner like Hogg. India MS Dhoni seems to have entered his comfort zone where his team is operating like a well-oiled engine. In all the three matches so far, Dhoni won the toss, spinners restricted the opposition for a below-par target which the batsmen chased down with ease. Given they have already qualified for the semi-finals, Dhoni must consider creating a different situation by electing to bat first if he calls the toss right once again. The experience would help both batsmen and bowlers in the knockout games. Given the Indian skipper’s track record, expect him to make little or no change in the playing XI, hence keeping from disturbing the continuity. Key Players Australia Glenn Maxwell is in red-hot form, top scoring for Australia in both the matches with 74 and 45 respectively. If he could add to his form, his IPL experience against the Indian players, he could win the Aussies the match singlehandedly. India The spin-twin of Amit Mishra and R Ashwin has worked cohesively to architect India’s previous wins. They should feel further confident given the Indian spinners generally have an upper-hand over the Australian batsmen.
