As both the captains Aron Finch and Eoin Morgan will head out for the toss they will want to win it and bowl first. Batting first has proved to be more difficult than chasing the target down. Moreover both the teams have got a great bowling attack which can win this big game for their sides.

The first clash being in the year 2007 was won by Australia while the second one in the 2010 World Cup was won by the British team.
