India to bat first against Pak in Delhi ODI

New Delhi, Jan 6(ANI): India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has won the toss and decided to bat first against Pakistan in the final one-day international at Ferozshah Kotla in New Delhi.

India has brought in Ajinkya Rahane and Mohammad Shami Ahmed in place of Virender Sehwag and Ashok Dinda while Pakistan has replaced Anwar Ali with Umar Akmal.

The hosts lost the first game in Chennai by six wickets and the second in Kolkata by 85 runs to give their arch foes their first series win on Indian soil since 2004-05.
