Peter Siddle makes comeback after eight years
Australia has gone through multiple changes in their ODI squad since their last series loss against South Africa at home. Captain Aaron Finch will lead a new-look side as they eye on the World Cup later this year.
The hosts announced their XI a day prior to the game. Peter Siddle will play his first ODI since 2010, while Peter Handscomb and Usman Khawaja will play in the middle-order. Jhye Richardson and Jason Behrendorff are two quicks Australia have gone selected.
Jasprit Bumrah has been rested for this ODI series as the team management wants to manage his workload.
Mohammad Siraj has been named as his replacement in the squad.
Mohammad Shami should get a spot in the XI, along with Khaleel Ahmed. India may go in with Kuldeep Yadav as the only spinner in the side. Rest of the side should be similar to the usual combination India plays for the white-ball formats.
Khawaja, Marsh and Handscomb scored fifties, but it was Stoinis' 47* that provided the much-needed impetus towards the end which powered 🇦🇺 to 288/5. 😎

Who will take the first ODI? 🤔

The SCG pitch is slower than any other pitches in Australia and it's favour spin slightly.
The wickets in Australia have been really flat lately, so it is expected that even this game will be a high-scoring encounter.
The weather had played a spoiled sport in the final Test at the same venue last week, but that isn't likely to be the case for the Saturday's game. The weather will be sunny throughout the day and there is no rain expected.
Shaun Marsh laid a solid platform with a fruitful fifty! 👌
