Aaron Finch remains sidelined with a broken finger and with George Bailey returning home as scheduled due to family reasons, coach Darren Lehmann has been left with a bare minimum 12 players for the second and final T20 clash of the series.

“That I can give you,” Lehmann said. “We’ve only got 12 fit players as Finch is not available and George has gone home so Wade will play.”

Peter Nevill will continue to take the gloves for Australia, while Wade and Bailey were only selected to stay on for the extra matches after Finch and Chris Lynn suffered late injuries.

The only change could come to Australia’s bowling attack, with the in-form John Hastings set to return to the line-up after being left out of Australia’s opening 85-run win on Wednesday morning (AEST). All-rounder Moises Henriques, who conceded 12 runs per over in that match, could be the man to make way for Hastings.
