Australia vs Korea expected to be a tight game in Pool B of the World Baseball Classic
While none of them are expected to challenge for the WBC title, there is still a lot to play for in the opening game of Pool B between Australia and Korea.
The Australians head into the game as underdogs, having lost to Korea in their last eight meetings. However, they are determined to turn the tide and have a strong start to the tournament.
Team Australia have two MLB players in Liam Spence and Aaron Whitefield, while Team Korea boasts the likes of MLB infielders Tommy Edman and Ha-Seong Kim.
