TOSS - It's time for the coin to go up in New Chandigarh. Both captains - Shubman Gill and Shai Hope - are all in readiness. Tails is the call from Hope, but it comes down as Heads. India have elected to BAT first.

In conversation with Naman Dhir - When asked by Ian Bishop how his body is feeling after the second game, Naman says it was not an injury but simply a cramp brought on by the heat. He is feeling fine now and is ready to go. On playing at home, Naman says it is a special moment for him, having started his cricketing journey here. His family will also be in attendance, making the occasion even more special.

Gold on its way - While one Indian side chases a clean sweep in New Chandigarh, another is locked in battle with Pakistan on foreign soil, fighting for Gold in the Asian Games final over in Japan. They are in a strong position after smashing 211 in the first innings. As per the latest reports, Pakistan need 52 runs in 18 balls.

PITCH REPORT - Former India spinner Murali Kartik is pitchside and starts by informing us that a black-soil surface will be used for the game. The square boundaries are 68 metres, while it is 74 metres straight down the ground, with the dimensions fairly similar to those in Guwahati. Former West Indies batter Daren Ganga joins him and observes an even covering of grass across the surface. He expects good batting conditions, with consistent pace and bounce on offer, although the spinners could come into play as the ball gets older. For the pacers, Ganga feels hitting the 7-8 metre length consistently will be key to challenging the batters both in the first Powerplay and beyond. Ganga feels chasing is the way to go, but Kartik believes India may want to challenge themselves by batting first and then trying to defend a total.

All set for the debut - News coming from the center is that Anshul Kamboj is set to make his ODI debut. He was handed the debut cap a few minutes ago.
