Toss Pakistan chose to field vs Australia

Australia are without skipper Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Marnus Labuschagne, who have set their sights on preparing for the first Test against India.

Pakistan named the same XI for the third straight game in the type of stability that has been a welcome tonic following recent off-field turmoil which resulted in white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten quitting just a week before the tour.

It has been a relatively mild spring in Perth and pleasant temperatures in the mid-20s are expected throughout the day fixture. A crowd of around 20,000 is expected for the first ODI at Optus Stadium since 2018.

Australia: 1 Matt Short, 2 Jake Fraser-McGurk, 3 Aaron Hardie, 4 Josh Inglis (capt, wk), 5 Cooper Connolly, 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Marcus Stoinis, 8 Sean Abbott, 9 Adam Zampa, 10 Spencer Johnson, 11 Lance Morris

Pakistan: 1 Saim Ayub, 2 Abdullah Shafique, 3 Babar Azam, 4 Mohammad Rizwan (capt, wk), 5 Kamran Ghulam, 6 Salman Agha, 7 Irfan Khan, 8 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 9 Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, 11 Mohammad Hasnain
