Australia: Usman Khawaja, Aaron Finch, David Warner, Steve Smith (capt), Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, James Faulkner, Peter Nevill (wkt), Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa.

Pakistan: Ahmed Shehzad, Sharjeel Khan, Khalid Latif, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Sarfraz Ahmed (wkt), Shahid Afridi (capt), Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Sami.

Good noise as Amir sets on his way for the first time. On the Pakistan bench, Azhar Mahmood furiously scribbles on a notepad. What an odd time to do your homework.

Alex Webster: Australia finally playing there best team today, but putting them in correct order is the next task.

The Aussie openers, Usman Khawaja and the recalled Aaron Finch, stride to the middle in the black and gold (yellow) of Sam Sparro. Mohammad Amir has the ball.

Anthems time. Sorry, Advance Australia Fair. You're good, but the Afghan anthem is my new favourite.

"The good news for Pakistan is that Wahab Riaz is back, he's a man you always want in your side. It will be interesting looking at how they bat on this outfield. Against India I didn't feel they pushed the twos, they need to find a way to keep the scoreboard ticking."

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi: "Batting first is a good idea, but the toss doesn't matter, winning the match is more important.

"We know the importance of the game and we have to win.

"I haven't taken any decisions on my future, I will do that in front of my nation."

Australia captain Steve Smith: "It looks a pretty good wicket. It's a day game, hot, hopefully we can run them off their feet.

"In tournament play you have to be at your best at the back end, but you still have to win your games."

On a hot day in Chandigarh, Steven Smith doesn't hesitate to bat first. The big team news is that Australia have recalled Aaron Finch, the man baffling left out of their first two games. Wahab Riaz returns for Pakistan.

Now they meet. If Pakistan lose, they're out. If Australia lose, qualifying becomes trickier than the Riemann hypothesis. They've already flicked the coin...

... and Pakistan lost to India.

Those are the words of Jeff Lindsay, the man who wrote the books that the Dexter TV series was based on.

He was referring to time spent in a business meeting or at the pub, but he could just as well as been talking about the World Twenty20...

"We congratulate a rival on a triumph when actually we are choking on spite."
