Allrounder James Hopes admits Australia will draw on the incentive to eliminate India from the Champions Trophy cricket tournament by winning Monday's day-night clash at Centurion.
Australia can secure a semi-final berth with victory, which would also ensure Pakistan reach the final four, while India would miss out.
Hopes admitted the rivalry Australia had with India in recent years would add to the contest, especially given the high stakes.
"They're one of the favourites to win the tournament I would assume, so we've been given the chance to put them out and we're looking forward to hopefully doing that," he said.
"Now it comes down to one game to see whether we have to win on Wednesday (against Pakistan) to get into the semi-finals, or whether we can go straight through and put India out.
"It's going to be a high-pressure game, it's going to be good to play in."
Australia won their opening pool game against the West Indies, while India lost their opener to Pakistan.
Hopes said Australia were capable of improving even though they had won seven of their past eight one-dayers.
"While we're not playing outstanding cricket we're not losing too many games," he said.
"That's becoming a bit contagious around the group and we're not expecting to lose tomorrow."
Australia vice-captain Michael Clarke is in doubt to play because of back stiffness.
