In the first T20 match, Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and decided to field first. “(It) looks like a very good wicket and we leave ourselves behind to chase down any score. A little dry, but after the ball is soft, there should be a good batting surface,” said Finch during the toss.

Finch said that he is not worried about playing with just one specialist spinner. “(Glenn) Maxwell has shown for both Australia and Australia IPL That he can bowl at any time and at any stage of the game, so we are happy to go with just one specialist spinner.”
