Left out of the ODI squad, Bulls skipper Marnus Labuschagne will be keen to captialise on his form after a strong century in the Sheffield Shield this week, but there’s no spot in this format for incumbent Test opener Usman Khawaja. 

Also managed out for this match are Shield bowling trio Michael Neser, Gurinder Sandhu and Benji Floros, who will instead by eying next week’s Shield final rematch with South Australia at Adelaide Oval, and Mark Steketee is nearing a return to action after a pre-season hamstring injury.

SA squad: Nathan McSweeney (c), Wes Agar, Jordan Buckingham, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mackenzie Harvey, Hanno Jacobs, Jake Lehmann, Harry Manenti, Nathan McAndrew, Harry Nielsen, Lloyd Pope and Jason Sangha

Dynamic duo Jake Fraser-McGurk and Mackenzie Harvey return to the line-up for title-holders South Australia after opening the batting for Australia A in their three-game one-day series in India last week. McGurk, of course, shot into the spotlight two years ago today when he blasted an astonishing 29-ball century in a One-Day Cup fixture against Tasmania. How he would dearly love to recapture that form.  

South Australia skipper Nathan McSweeney is set for his first game of the competition having missed the season opener against WA while playing the four-day leg of the Aussie A tour. McSweeney will be hoping for a quick turnaround in form after having a Shield round to forget against Victoria. 

Nathan McAndrew is back after battling a bout of back stiffness, while Brendan Doggett is sidelined having tweaked his hamstring while batting and tentatively aiming for a return in the next round of Shield cricket, as is Ben Manenti, who has been managing an ankle complaint. 

Victoria squad: Matt Short (c), Austin Anlezark, Xavier Crone, Campbell Kellaway, Blake Macdonald, Cam McClure, Todd Murphy, Fergus O’Neill, Oliver Peake, Sam Harper, Peter Handscomb, Tom Rogers

Victoria welcome back Todd Murphy from Australia A duties but have had to dig into their playing reserves with a host of first-choice players missing for the Dean Jones Trophy final rematch.

Uncapped quick Austin Anlezark is in line to make his debut, while Xavier Crone could play his first game of the season with Scott Boland (managed), Marcus Harris (personal reasons) and captain Will Sutherland (managed after A series) all absent.

Sam Elliott and Harry Dixon are also being rested after their recent returns from India for the ‘A’ one-day series, while Mitch Perry is likewise being put on ice.

Matt Short, named in Australia’s ODI squad to face India, is taking the captaincy reins while Sutherland sits out.

Both teams are chasing their first win of the season.
