India will seek to secure a berth in final tomorrow

Sydney, Feb 23 Needing to win just one more game to ensure a berth in the cricket tri-series final, India will seek to get the job done tomorrow itself as they go into their penultimate league match against Australia with the form of some key batsmen being a concern.

A win tomorrow will almost certainly take Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men to the title round and render their game against Sri Lanka in Hobart on Tuesday of only academic interest.

"We would like to seal it tomorrow and save ourselves pressure," Dhoni said as his side prepared to take on the world champions on a slow SCG track.

Australia have already secured their place in the final, collecting 22 points from six games. India, on 12 points, has a handy six-point lead over their sub-continent rivals with one round of matches to go.

Sri Lanka need to win both their remaining matches and at the same time hope that India lose both their games to go through to the final.

India is no different than others when it comes to batting woes in the low-scoring series and, in all probability, Virender Sehwag will mark a return to the playing eleven to bolster the line-up.

It would mean India discarding its new-found preference of five bowlers. It would revert to four frontline bowlers and expect the fifth bowler's quota to be shared between Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh. (Agencies)
