Travis Head is likely to play in the middle-order for Australia in the first Test at Adelaide Oval, starting December 6.
Travis Head was not out on 34 as both batsmen tried to revive the innings after Abbas' (3-26) burst had left Australia reeling at 87-3.
Joe Burns, Glenn Maxwell and Shaun Marsh, who were in Australia's Test squad for the final match of the infamous tour of South Africa, were not included in the four-day squad.
Despite losing seven wickets in the run chase, the hosts cruised to victory with 13 overs to spare on the back of a masterful display from Head, who missed his second ODI hundred by four runs.
