Australia were left without much of their first choice XI for the match after Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood all went down with the mystery illness. It has been reported that they were suffering from virus. However, there is no update on their comeback ahead of 2nd ODI. In addition, Ben Dwarshuis ruled out in his debut game owing to the injury and he won't be playing in the 2nd ODI as well.

The pitch at Headingley in Leeds might help the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. However, batters can make the game very high-scoring as they will be enjoying the pace and bounce. In addition to this, spinners might get some turn with the old ball. The team winning the toss must be looking to bowl first in the game.
