Rather than being disappointed with their two back-to-back home defeats in the ODI series against Australia, Team India believe that it's good this happened before the World Cup, and are approaching today's decisive fifth ODI at the Kotla with a positive mindset.

"Definitely, there are certain areas we need to address, both in bowling and batting but I think that whatever happened [back-to-back defeats] is good because it happened much before a major tournament like the World Cup [beginning in England on May 30]. There are areas where we really need to tighten up. I think the way this series has gone is a great learning for us," India bowling coach Bharat Arun said at the pre-match press conference yesterday.
