Despite his continuous failures, Shikhar Dhawan is likely to open the batting and these two games will be the last chances that he will get to cement his place in the playing XI. Inspite of those wickets, Ind bowled poorly gave away a lot of boundaries throughout Australian innings rather than Australia earning it the hard away. Both Warner and Finch have played some good strokes early.
The stage is set and after seven wins on the trot, MS Dhoni and his men are set to take on the might of the home team. Exactly the same score from four years ago. Retrieved 20 March 2015.

Australia certainly is a good side. Looking forward to an epic final. Steve smith keeps on going. It was always tough for India unless Virat stayed in. Will be a cracker of a final— Kumar Sangakkara KumarSanga2 Update: MS Dhoni perishes, so do India's hopes MS Dhoni looked to be setting himself for a miracle, but it proved to be a task that was too hard, even for MS Dhoni. He was run out for 65, and India's chances went up in smoke with that wicket. Faulkner took the wickets of Ashwin and Mohit Sharma off consecutive deliveries, while Mitchell Starc wrapped up the game in typical fashion as India were bowled out for 233. Australia win the game by 95 runs and will now play for the mos important prize in limited overs cricket on the 29th of March at Melbourne. The duo added 70 off 79 deliveries as India looked to set themselves for the explosion that was needed at the end to get over the line. Mitchell Starc, however, had other ideas and struck with just his 2nd ball of his new spell to send back Rahane. Rahane played and looked like he had missed the ball. However, Steven Smith and Brad Haddin convinced Michael Clarke to take the review. Sickometer showed a slight spike and Rahane had to make his way back to the pavillion for a 68-ball 44. Update: Dhoni stands firm MS Dhoni showed there is still some fight left in the Indian side as he helped put on a fine fifty-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane. Dhoni released the pressure a bit by hitting Hazlewood for two boundaries in one over. Rahane, at the other end, has not enjoyed the same frequency. He has edged his way to 32 off 55 balls, with his only boundary coming off an outside edge. Vinod Kambli, meanwhile, has take to twitter to troll Rahane: 'Looking at Rahane, it feels like Dravid is batting in his earlier days in one dayers. They still have MS Dhoni to follow and that should mean hopes of a win have not completely evaporated. India are up against it, though. He scored only one off his first twelve deliveries before going for the pull against Mitchell Johnson. The top-edge looped up in the air and Brad Haddin did the rest. India are two down! Two down quickly becomes three down. Rohit Sharma releases the pressure with a fine six, but was out bowled off the very next delivery off Mitchell Johnson. If India are to win, Ajinkya Rahane has to come out with an innings of his life. Update: Dhawan goes rogue but falls at the wrong time Shikhar Dhawan is climbing into the Aussies now. He has picked out James Faulkner as Australia's weak link and is underlining his intentions with some scintillating strokes. India have raced away to 70+ at a rate of better than a run a ball. However, Dhawan fell against the run of play. And to make it worse, he played one of the best shots of the day. Dhawan sprang down the track and lofted Hazlewood inside out towards deep cover. Unfortunately for him, Glenn Maxwell was positioned there and he took a comfortable catch to give the hosts their first wicket. Well, that brings out perhaps the best chaser in ODI history to the crease. No better way of emphasizing the title than today, Virat. Update: Solid start for India Having survived a couple of early chances, the Indian openers settled into a nice rhythm and helped the side off to a steady start. Sharma got himself off with a stunning hook off Mitchell 'I'll sledge you' Johnson for a six, while Dhawan played a couple of sumptuous drives on the up on the on-side James Faulkner was in for some special treatment, with Dhawan slamming the left-armer for two fours and a six to take India past the 50-run mark in the 10th over. Meanwhile, the crowd is going absolutely bonkers with loud chants of 'India Jeethega' or 'India will win' reverberating. Australia need a way to silence the crowd, it looks like the openers are feeding off the energy. © Getty Update: Rohit Sharma survives early scare Rohit Sharma survived an early scare as a catch at slip off the very first over was referred to the third umpire. Third Umpire Marius Erasmus ruled the decision in favour of the batsman, and Rohit celebrated it by stylishly square-driving Mitchell Starc to the fence off the very next delivery. Dhawan, too, enjoyed a reprieve as Brad Haddin put down a chance off Hazlewood in the fourth over. Early luck is with the defending champions. Australia have been uncharacteristically generous, so far. BTW, here's a stat that will put a smile on India's fans: Out of the ten times teams have chased under lights at the SCG, they have won seven times. Also, the two times Dhawan has been dropped in this World Cup he went on to score big hundred. Special advice: Ind should believe they can chase this total. New ball didn't count for much except for Warner's wicket. They did well to pull it back with all those wickets otherwise india would have been looking at 370-400 to chase on the board. Inspite of those wickets, Ind bowled poorly gave away a lot of boundaries throughout Australian innings rather than Australia earning it the hard away. This looks like the 2003 WC final score. Kohli will be the key man, but Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Rahane, Raina, Dhoni all have to bat well. India need two big hundreds or atleast one big hundred and a couple of 50s from these will help India make it to the final. Biggest match for Ind on biggest stage of world cricket now!!! Update: Johnson provides late-order entertainment Mitchell Johnson gave the Aussies the fiery finish they were desperate for as he slammed Mohd Shami for three consecutive boundaries in the penultimate over. He followed that up with a four and a six as Australia became the first side in the history of World Cups to post a 300+ total in a semi final. This was also the first time India failed to bowl their opposition out during this World Cup. India's fightback maybe have been admirable, but the total is still a big one. India will need Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni all their batsmen to be at their best. Wicket: Faulkner falls after brisk cameo James Faulkner gave Australia some hope of a huge total by slamming a number of boundaries. He has slammed 21 off 11 deliveries, including three fours and a six, before Umesh Yadav got a ball to sneak through and disturb the stumps. This was Yadav's fourth wicket. He may have been costly, but the four wickets would be priceless. A fifer in a World Cup semi-final is within reach. © Getty Wicket: Mohit Sharma strikes India are pumped up now. Another big wickets, and another through a short delivery. Michael Clarke is hurried into the pull by Mohit Sharma, and Rohit Sharma takes a comfortable over-head catch to leave the Aussies in a spot of bother. Australia have lost their last four wickets for just 51 runs. The right-armer was brought in in the 38th over, and he needed only three deliveries to send back Australia's most dangerous batsman. Maxwell went for the slog sweep and ended up holing out to Ajinkya Rahane at deep backward square leg. Umesh Yadav further boosted India's fightback as he struck in the next over to send back Aaron Finch for a hard-working 81 off 116 deliveries. India suddenly have found themselves on the ascendency and will hope to keep picking wickets. Sidvee on Twitter: Can't stress how inspiring it is to see this team hanging in there and breaking through when they spotted the opening. Super Revised Sweepstakes: 380 380 on the cards for Aussies, India may bleed yellow today.... The middle-order batsman slams two fours and a massive 102-metre six to give the Australian finish more impetus. This could be a terrible time for India if they don't fightback with wickets. Slow claps: 10 innings. The knock has put Australia on the brink of a mammoth total. India finally got some respite, as Umesh Yadav had the centurion out caught in the deep. With Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner to follow, it could mean carnage. User Comment: Just some observation. This Aron Finch is trying 2 play like his MI capt. Wicket time: Hasn't Poonam Pandey promised 'anything' yet? Need a wicket, boys! It is his fourth fifty in as many games, and he seems to be gliding along easily. India are bowling their lead spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, in tandem. Australia are setting themselves up for a big score. Aaron Finch, at the other end, survived a close LBW call off Jadeja. The Indians went for a review, with Jadeja fully-convinced that the ball struck Finch in line. Replays showed that the impact was inches outside off-stump. Plan B: Virat Kohli on to bowl Will this prove to be a master-stroke. In a move no one would have predicted, MS Dhoni throws the ball to Virat Kohli to bowl the 12th over of the game. Will he turn out to be India's AB de Villiers? My prediction: 234 — Arvind Passey arvindpassey Update: Smith in ominous form Steven Smith has got into his groove, and India will be reliving nightmares of the Test series. Four consecutive fours off Umesh Yadav's fifth over, and Australia are now past the 50-run mark. India will need his wicket as soon as possible. Their short-ball tactic doesn't look like it is working against Smith. © Cricbuzz Wicket: India draw first blood; Warner departs India have struck early and the capacity crowd at the SCG goes mental. Umesh Yadav hurries David Warner on to the back foot with a shortish delivery, the left-hander's attempted flick takes the leading edge and the ball lands in the hands of Virat Kohli at mid-on. That is a massive breakthrough for the visitors. Sweepstakes: 320 Shashi Kiran on FB: Australia to score 320+ Sweepstakes: 281 Austriala will post 281. Exactly the same score from four years ago. A couple of near-misses already. It looks like it won't take long before there is an edge through to the keeper or the slips. David Warner, on the other hand, has started in fine fashion - slamming a straight drive past Umesh Yadav before ending the over with a pull for the first six of the match. Sweepstakes: Michael Vaughan: Some were saying 70% Indian supporters at the SCG.... Captain Obvious: Early wickets key for India. A solid start will put Australia on course for a big total. Shane Warne reckons a total of 350-400 could well be in reach for Australia on this pitch. The first semi final was a stunning affair, let's hope this one lives up to the billing, too.

India have gone in with an untinkered starting XI. Here are the captains' comments: Clarke: 'Not too much on what has he said to his mates before the game. It's a big occasion, it's a special day. We know we are up against a fantastic team, but we love playing here at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The boys are ready to go, they have trained really well. That's all I can ask for. We are going to have a bat Flem Damien Fleming , thank you. I think we are about to find out. The wicket looks great. I think it will be pretty good for both innings, runs on the board is the reason why we have gone for batting first. Same XI for us today. I thought he Hazlewood was exceptional. I think he grabbed his opportunity with both hands, the selectors believe this is right XI for these conditions. I am confident if we play our best cricket, we can have success today. The overall preparations have been good. We would have batted first as well. Not only Rohit, everyone has to put in their performances. The partnerships are more important than individual performances. If the teams turn up at the park with their A games, fans could get a game to cherish. India have had a fine run in the World Cup, winning all seven starts, but they will have to be well on top of their A game to be able to beat the strong and determined home side and get to within one match of having the chance to defending the crown, a feat achieved only by the great sides of the West Indies and Australia. After spending an evening, sweating under covers as it rained over Sydney, the pitch was back under the charge of its caretakers, curator Tom Parker and his colleagues. Between sessions of rolling spread over the day, the pitch had a number of curious visitors, including Australia coach Darren Lehmann, Chairman of Selectors Rod Marsh and his colleague Mark Waugh. Clearly, the curator's attempt has been to ensure that the pitch would be even-paced unlike in the quarterfinal where it started off being dual-paced and challenged the Sri Lanka batsmen. It would be important for the team batting first to ensure that not too many wickets are lost in the mandatory Powerplay. Stay tuned, Toss coming up in a few minutes.
