Smith revealed on Monday he had been suffering from vertigo and appeared to struggle in the nets.

He warmed up on the Wankhede Stadium outfield before the toss on Tuesday but was left out of the five-time champions' playing XI.

All-rounders Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell were recalled after they missed the win over England last time out.
