Australian captain George Bailey has won the toss and chosen to bat first in their Champions Trophy clash against New Zealand at Edgbaston.
There are two changes to Australia’s team that lost to England by 48 runs in their opening pool match on Saturday.
Allrounder Glenn Maxwell comes in for opener David Warner, who was stood down for breaching Cricket Australia’s code of conduct.
Paceman Mitchell Starc has been dropped for left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty.
Defending champions Australia need to beat the Kiwis – who downed Sri Lanka in their first pool match – to have any chance of advancing to the semi-finals.
Warner was allegedly involved in a physical altercation with England batsman Joe Root in the early hours of Sunday following Australia’s loss in Birmingham.
Australia: George Bailey (capt), Shane Watson, Phil Hughes, Adam Voges, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Matt Wade, James Faulkner, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc, Clint McKay.
New Zealand: Luke Ronchi, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum, James Franklin, Nathan McCullum, Daniel Vettori, Tim Southee, Kyle Mills, Mitchell McClenaghan.
