David Warner’s century of ODIs

Warner has every bit of motivation to make his 100th ODI memorable. Australia are struggling in the subcontinent and who better to rescue them than Warner. He knows the conditions, he missed out on a half-century in the previous match. If he stays at the crease a while longer the run rate will increase at an alarming rate. He will also be playing with a new bat which will be legal under new ICC rules.

Pitch Report

The Bengaluru pitch used to be a batting paradise. It changed drastically during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017. Expecting a score in excess of 300 if Australia bats first are hardly possible. With rain looking to play spoilsport, the pitch will be damp and will help the fast bowlers. The toss will be a crucial one here as Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) might come into play.

Weather Report

The weather forecast does not look promising at all. Thunderstorms are expected to play spoilsport. The Rain Gods have shown no mercy in the previous few days. We might see a rain-curtailed match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium if the rain is not heavy. The Bengaluru stadium has one of the best drainage systems in the country. The commentators and players might have to do a little overtime tonight.

Squads:

India: Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey, MS Dhoni(w), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Axar Patel, Lokesh Rahul
