Australia won the toss and opted to bat against India in the fourth One-day International of the five-match series in Bengaluru on Thursday.

Matthew Wade came back in place of Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa replaced Ashton Agar in the Australian team.

In the Indian playing XI, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar made way for Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Axar Patel.

India lead the series 3-0.

It is a year to the day Australia last won a one-day international away from home, when Steve Smith’s men barely broke sweat in a nine-wicket rout of Ireland in Benoni.

Thirteen games have since come and gone, a barren streak that has only grown with a hat-trick of defeats on this latest tour of India. The teams arrive in Bengaluru, for the fourth ODI of this series, with Virat Kohli’s lot on a streak of its own: victory here on Thursday will be the tenth in a row in the 50-over format, an Indian record.
