Despite injuries, Team India was among the top contender for the title but last hour ouster of flamboyant all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has left the ‘Men in Blue' in a tizzy.
India's clash with Australia is now bigger than Saturday's match against Pakistan.
Skipper Dhoni will have to settle with not less than a victory. All the top guns of Team India Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni will have to fire today.
It becomes important for India when bowlers are not upto the mark in absence of Zaheer Khan. Once again Harbhajan Singh has to strike early to put Australians on backfoot.
In the fielding department, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli and Harbhajan Singh to save extra run for the team and couple of run outs could pave the way for victory.
In one sentence, Team India will have to improve its batting and fielding to compensate weaker bowling side.
To strengthen bowling, skipper Dhoni has decided to play five bowlers against Australia. Amit Mishra is likely to make into final eleven while RP Singh may be rested and Praveen Kumar will replace him in the side.
