The home team, Australia, would like to make a strong start to the three-match ODI series against South Africa.
Mitchell Marsh found his form with a fifty in the final game of the recently concluded T20I series against the same opposition and would want to build on that by leading from the front in the first ODI.
The pair will look to set a solid platform for the incoming batter, something that they failed to do in the T20Is.
A couple of retirements and Mitchell Owen getting ruled out of the series have somewhat put Australia in a peculiar situation, which has resulted in the selectors picking up promising but inexperienced players for this series.
Another batter who will have to put his hand up and take responsibility for guiding the team against a relatively strong South African bowling lineup is Alex Carey.
The major concern for the Mitchell Marsh-led side faced in the three T20Is was the lack of batting depth, which was taken care of by the likes of Tim David and Glenn Maxwell, but they might face a similar problem in the ODI series.
Bowlers: Nathan Ellis, Ben Dwarshuis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood
The Aussies have named an inexperienced bowling lineup, with Nathan Ellis and Ben Dwarshuis expected to make up the team's fast bowling department.
Australia might go into the match with four specialist bowlers, with Cameron Green being the fifth bowling option, given that he bowls.
The team's spin bowling will be handled by experienced spinner Adam Zampa, with Matthew Short bowling a few overs along with Marnus Labuschagne.
