For Australia, Michael Clarke is all set to play in this match after a long injury lay off. The Australian skipper had his last outing in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 warm-up match against Afghanistan, wherein he opened the innings and scored a fine half-century to prove his fitness in the 50-over cricket.
