Captain views:
Virat Kohli, India captain: It looks to a good track, but it's a used surface, so best conditions to bat and put runs on the board. The bowling attack can attack in the second half. The batsmen chasing will be wary and scoreboard pressure might come into play. It has been overcast everywhere we are playing but the sun is out at The Oval, it is really a no brainer to bat first. No change to India's playing XI.
Aaron Finch, Australia captain: I would have batted first. It's a dry surface, might get slower later. I think in the World Cup you are playing against different oppositions, good chance for the players to get out there and express themselves. You look at every situation, we are going with the same playing XI. We didn't have the best of the games in the previous match.
