Team India at Vadodara

After regaining confidence by winning in Chandigarh, India are now looking to go all out for victory when they take on Australia in the fifth one-dayer of the seven-match Future Cup series on Thursday.

The Reliance Stadium pitch is expected to be a belter, with the curator expecting a 300-plus score by the team batting first. So the toss may be crucial, as both teams will like to put a huge score on the board and place their opponents under as much psychological pressure as they can.
World ODI champions Australia have a 2-1 lead in the series and are expected to come hard at Team India after their narrow loss in Chandigarh
.
But there is good news for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as some of the problems that cropped up during the losses in Kochi and Hyderabad seem to have been solved with the win in Chandigarh.

The famed Indian batting line-up was a disappointment at the start of the series. But in Chandigarh, India preferred to go with their best opening combination - Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar.

The duo did the trick as they added 91 runs for the opening wicket, which built the foundation of the Indian innings. The middle-order is also regaining form as Yuvraj Singh - who hit a century in Hyderabad - and Dhoni blasted the Australians in Chandigarh.
It will be a big occasion for Tendulkar Thursday. He will be playing his 400th ODI.
