With both sides bereft of quality bowling options, it seems that the team that bats better will come out victorious.
Here's what Brook said at the toss, "We will bowl first. When Jos was in charge, he always like chasing, we've a powerful batting unit, put the pressure on them and chase the score down. Try and take wickets throughout and chase the ball to the boundary, I think we did that well in TB. Overcast conditions, could do a bit here with the new ball before going flat. We want to keep going harder and put them under pressure with the bat. Jofra Archer misses out, Olly Stone comes in"
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh talking at the toss. He said, "We would have bowled first as well, but happy to bat first. We welcome back Starc, Hazlewood and Maxwell, so nice to have the full roster. Have a bit of luxury, but it's a trend in the game. We are blessed to have him in the team, has been in incredible form over the last couple of years. I might be bowling soon hopefully. "
