With bowling spearheads Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc again rested, Jhye Richardson, Daniel Sams and Kane Richardson continue to shoulder the pace attack.

Australia clinched the five-match Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka with two games to spare. With the series already in the bag, Australia made a couple of changes to their playing XI but even in the dead rubber the Australians didn't let their standards drop in the field. During the Sri Lankan innings, captain Aaron Finch and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade showed great presence of mind to run out Maheesh Theekshana. The duo combined brilliantly as Theekshana's valiant dive went in vain.
Josh Inglis and Glenn Maxwell powered Australia to a six-wicket win and their fourth straight Twenty20 victory over Sri Lanka at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
