Shane Watson is Back to Captain Australia in the Finals
Captain Michael Clarke went out of the team due to back pains. Shane Watson, who has fully recovered, is back in the game to captain team Australia during the finals.
Australia won against India with an 87-run standing at the SCG last Sunday.
In order for India to make it to the finals, they have to win over Sri Lank on Tuesday. But this will be possible if Australia will defeat Sri Lanka on Friday.
Australia is currently leading with 68 from David Warner, 56 from Matthew Wade and 54 from David Hussey.
India demonstrated a standing with 5 from Virender Sehwag, 2-50 from Ben Hilfenhaus and 14 from Sachin Tendulkar.
When Watson came and joined in the battle, he has quickly and successively ruled out Virat Kohli with 21 and Raina with 8.
Irfan Pathan also made the fight extra exciting with his compelling 22, but Xavie Doherty with 2-26 standing and Brett Lee with 1-26 ended the session allowing the team to gain victory with 10 ahead.
Dhoni was obvious about Hussey's situation upon handling the ball. According to him it was clearly out. He commented after ending the match with triumph.
He said David was lucky for not receiving an out decision. For him, David's hand was too far out, which could have earned an out by the referee.
Shane Watson said he's confident playing with Simon Taufel and Billy Bowden, which according to him are excellent umpires.
He also trusts Dave Hussey, who would never put up an annoying performance. He's hard on the game according to Watson, but definitely playing fair.
Watson is physically well and ready to play the game just in case Clarke won't make it this Friday.
