Last chancefor India to reach final

India and England clash on Friday in Perth with the winners taking their place in the tri series final against Australia in the shadow of the looming World Cup.

The hosts are enjoying extra time to prepare for Sunday's final at Perth's WACA ground while the tourists go at each other again.

England thrashed India by nine wickets in their last encounter and ran Australia close in their second meeting last week in Brisbane.

And that has put captain Eoin Morgan in confident mood ahead of the World Cup which England kick off against Australia in Melbourne on February 14.

Morgan says he fancies another crack at Australia before the big event.

"The opportunity to play Australia on Sunday is huge," he said Thursday.
