Chaos, confusion, and Kyle Mayers’s six is all the first T20 was about. Dropped catches from West Indies cost them a game they could have closed out, while Australia made some baffling selections. They dropped Steve Smith and opened with Cameron Green who is not even a part of the World Cup squad. Australia are the defending champions, but still have some line-up questions to sort as their moves look a little confusing.

AUS vs WI Key Players

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell has been going through a string of low scores and that could start looking like a concern soon. He is not batting with his usual flow and aggression, and really needs an innings to break free. With a fair few games left before the World Cup, Australia will be banking badly on their big show to score big and find form.

Odean Smith

Odean Smith’s style of fast bowling and aggressive batting seems to work well in Australia. His pace will be a strong weapon in the upcoming games while he is impressing with some huge sixes while batting.
