"So as momentum and confidence goes, it's quite a big game. (Plus) the opportunity to play in a final -- given we've got to get past India and produce some high-class cricket to get past India. The opportunity to play Australia on Sunday is huge," Morgan was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald.
The 28-year-old added that their prime focus will be to make it to the final Sunday given their string of poor performances before the tri-series.
"It is important (making it to the finals) given the lack of success we've had before this tour. We've built a lot of confidence in our preparation in the game in Brisbane and in the performances leading into the start of this series.”
Morgan took over the reigns from Alastair Cook shortly after the tour of Sri Lanka where England lost the ODI series 2-5.
