MOHALI (India), Jan 22: Bolstered by two emphatic back-to-back wins, India will seek to clinch the One-day International series against England by taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the fourth match here on Wednesday.

After a series of indifferent performances in the recent past, India are beginning to prove their worth and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be hoping that his young team-mates can maintain the tempo for a third successive win in the five-match series.

India’s inexperienced bowlers excelled in the last two matches and were largely responsible for setting up the victories while some of the top-order batsmen, who have been woefully out of form, have showed signs of recovery.

Clearly, the pressure will be England who have to come up with a far more inspired show to prevent the Indians from winning the series at the PCA Stadium.

There are still some areas of concern for the Indians who have not being able to fix their opening problems. Though Gautam Gambhir has been getting the starts and going into the 30s, he has not been able to translate them into a big knock. His partner Ajinkya Rahane has not been in good touch and has got out cheaply. They have the option of trying out Cheteshwar Pujara, who has still not played a single match, but that looks unlikely.

Teams (from): INDIA: Ajinkya Rahane, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ishant Sharma, Shami Ahmed, Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara Amit Mishra, Ashok Dinda.
