Xavier Bartlett returns after being rested after taking 4-17 on his ODI debut in the series opener at Melbourne, with fellow quick Lance Morris also back in the side.

West Indies are without opening batter Justin Greaves, who is struggling with a hamstring complaint. That led the way for Teddy Bishop's ODI debut, in which he will partner Alick Athanaze at the top of the order.

Bowler Sean Abbott, who smashed 69 runs off 63 balls in Sunday's match, will bat at No. 7 for Australia.
