In order to do that we might see a couple of changes in their playing XI as compared to their clash against Gujarat. Australia limited overs skipper Aaron Finch, who was not part of the match, should return to his original slot, with wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings making his way.
Another massive change that we can see is the inclusion of Ajinkya Rahane in the middle-order. The 33-year-old is an experienced candidate and his addition brings a depth to their batting, which already have Shreyas Iyer and Andre Russell in the ranks.
If Billings is missing the encounter, Sheldon Jackson becomes an automatic pick because of his wicketkeeping abilities, which has also been exemplary in the season so far. He will come in the middle-order in place of Rinku Singh.

Changes inbatting position as per this line-up: Finch should open the innings with Venkatesh Iyer. Ajinkya Rahane should bat at the number four position.
Nitish Rana, who stay in the middle have been very limited should bat slightly down the order, considering his inconsistency to go long.
Sunil Narine should go back to his original batting position after wasting the two chances he got to open the innings.
