USMAN KHAWAJA

GLENN MAXWELL

Glenn Maxwell has been leading Australia’s middle order in the last year, and his form will be crucial in their title defence. Besides, Maxwell’s off-spin will come in handy in these English conditions.

MARCUS STOINIS

Marcus Stoinis has been in form for Australia in recent times. His form with both bat and ball will add value to the squad and help Australia attain a balance as they move deep in the World Cup.

ALEX CAREY

Alex Carey had a good time behind the stumps in the first game and will look to keep up the excellent match. Meanwhile, he didn’t get an opportunity with bat and will expect to score some runs if any chance comes his way.

NATHAN COULTER-NILE

Despite going wicketless, Nathan Coulter-Nile kept up the pressure bowling economical overs. However, the real test of Coulter-Nile will be against Windies, which have some quality bowlers in their ranks.

PAT CUMMINS

Pat Cummins had a scintillating game returning with three wickets giving away only 40 runs from 8.3 overs. Cummins has led the bowling attack, and Australia will hope him to continue doing so. Beside, Cummins can also chip in with the bat, which will add value to the team.

MITCHELL STARC

Mitchell Starc had an outstanding game against Afghanistan and looked in a good rhythm which will be a massive advantage for Australia. Starc finished as the highest wicket-taker in the last World Cup and will look to keep up the good work.

ADAM ZAMPA

Adam Zampa claimed three wickets in Australia’s first game against Afghanistan. Zampa will look to keep up the wicket-taking spree against a strong Windies batting.
