We are unchanged, lots of options in the squad."Australian skipper Mitchell Marsh, speaking at the toss, said, "We would have bowled first as well, it is dictated by the conditions and the weather. We have come here to win the tournament and today is a big match. Great feeling (on captaincy), I have a lot of experienced players around who are big match winners.
