Australia, on the other hand, have to ponder replacements for two stalwarts who retired after the 2025 Champions Trophy. Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell both called time on their career after Australia’s semi-final defeat to India. Cameron Green is back in the squad though and could slot in at No.3 or in the middle order. It remains to be seen if Australia will let Josh Hazlewood play this game considering he had played all three T20Is.
Maphaka may have to wait for his ODI debut, considering the availabity of Nandre Burger, but that will not be the case for Brevis.
