On Monday, Shane Watson made an unbeaten 185 in 26 overs before his innings was forced to end because Australia had chased down Bangladesh's total. Today, in the tour finale, he will be hoping to stay at the crease for a full 50 overs after Michael Clarke won the toss and chose to bat as Australia seek a clean-sweep in the three-match series.

Australia made two changes, with the 20-year-old Victorian fast bowler James Pattinson named to make his debut. Pattinson and his brother Darren, who played one Test for England in 2008, will now join a select list of siblings to have represented different cricketing nations.

Before the Pattinsons, the most recent entry to that group was Dom Joyce, who played three ODIs for Ireland in 2006 and 2007, and his more famous brother Ed Joyce, who turned out for both Ireland and England. If James Pattinson progresses to wear the baggy green, he and Darren would be the first brothers in more than a century to play Test cricket for different nations.

Australia's other change was the inclusion of the backup wicketkeeper Tim Paine, who sat on the sidelines throughout the World Cup, but has now been given a chance while Brad Haddin sits out. However, Paine was not listed to open alongside Watson, with the former captain Ricky Ponting expected to walk out first.

Bangladesh also made two alterations, with Raqibul Hasan and Rubel Hossain left out to make room for Mashrafe Mortaza and Alok Kapali, who will play his first ODI in two and a half years.

Bangladesh 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Shahriar Nafees, 4 Alok Kapali, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Suhrawadi Shuvo, 9 Shafiul Islam, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Mashrafe Mortaza.

Australia 1 Shane Watson, 2 Ricky Ponting, 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Callum Ferguson, 6 Tim Paine (wk), 7 Steve Smith, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 John Hastings, 10 Xavier Doherty, 11 James Pattinson.
