As we mentioned that it would be a practice match for both teams so there might be seen few changes in the both teams. Australia cricket team will opt to give chances to bench sitters and to some out form players like Glenn Maxwell. Glenn Maxwell has not performed according to its potential. He is a very capable player, He is not adjusting himself according to Australian conditions. He had toured India and played a lot of cricket at the slower pitches, this might be a x-factor for his poor batting performer.
