Being a day game (11 AM start), the pitch will be dry and is expected to take significant turn as the match progresses. Batting first and putting runs on the board might be the better option. A score of 160 could be match-winning against a non-subcontinent side, although Australia plays spin well.

- 🚀 Mitchell Starc vs Wessly Madhevere: Starc swinging it back into the right-hander early on is a classic dismissal threat.
- 💥 Glenn Maxwell vs Spin: Maxwell loves bowling against left-handers and batting against spin. This could be his game.
