Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first, where they made five changes to their playing 11. Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa all came back to take their places in the playing eleven. Aaron Finch is also set to open the innings.
The opening duo of Alex Hales and Jos Buttler failed this time around, but Dawid Malan scored a brilliant half-century for the visitors. Apart from Malan, Moeen Ali also played a fine knock, but the rest of the batters have been dominated by the Aussie bowlers.
