Match State: Match start scheduled for 0900 local time (0700 GMT)
Hello and welcome to the final of the Coca-Cola Cup in Zimbabwe
India take on West Indies with the former not losing a single game
in the lead up to the final
Hemang Badani is carrying an injury and therefore will not play,
this means both Sodhi and Sehwag will play
VVS Laxman returns to his numbner three spot for the final, having
recovered from injury
Ganguly has now won 5 tosses out of five and elected to field first
each time
The sun's coming out now here in Harare, changing the breezy and
cloudy atmosphere just before play starts
The wicket has helped the fast bowlers early on each time
There's also a fair bit of cloud cover around the ground yet and
that will help the quicker bowlers
A south-westerly beeeze is keeping the chill up and once again
should help the quicker bowlers
There's a bit of dry grass rolled into the wicket so that should
help the ball come onto the bat nicely
Join us soon for the first ball live on www.cricinfo.com
