BOOMING WITH confidence, Team India is all set to take on Australia in the 4th ODI of the seven match India Australia 2009 series on Monday (November 2) . The Match is a day and night affair and will start at 2:30 pm at Mohali's Punjab Cricket Association ground. In form captain, Dhoni would try everything want to win this match and take the lead to 3-1.

Australia captain, Ricky Pointing, however, will have his own plan to unsettle the wily Indian captain, who has played his cards well in the last two matches.

Gautam Gambhir and Sehwag are likely to miss the match as they were injured during the 3rd ODI at Firoz Shah Kotla and doubts are being raised whether they would be included in the line up. Dinesh Karthik has joined the Indian team at Mohali as Dhoni was uncertain about Gambhir and Sehwag;'s availability.

Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar who hasn't really made a big score in the series so far will try to reach the magical figure of 17,000 runs today. He is short by 47 runs to reach the milestone. In form batsman, Yuvraj Singh will be playing at his home ground and people are again expecting fireworks from him. With Dhoni and Raina, also in top from, team India once again are the favourites to win this match. A win here will also take India on the top spot of the ICC table.

Australia is having a lot of injury problems with a number of its players and they are missed badly. The Mohali Pitch is known as a batting paradise and the team winning the toss will have to read the pitch well and also keep the dew factor in mind, before taking a decision to whether bat or bowl first.

A must watch match and a very important match for both the teams.

All the best team India.
