ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Strongest Australian Playing XI

#6 Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell failed to perform to his potential in 2018. However, he did contribute with the bat in the ODI series against India where he scored 85 runs at an average of 42.50 and a strike-rate of 139.34. Maxwell will be hoping to continue the same with the World Cup around.

Nevertheless, the thing that he will be hoping to improve is his bowling as he failed to take wickets in the ODI series against India. Be that as it may, the Victorian all-rounder will undoubtedly hold a place in Australia's XI for the World Cup.

#7 Marcus Stoinis

Another all-rounder who will inevitably feature Australia's World Cup XI is Marcus Stoinis. The well-built all-rounder has proved to be a vital cog in the Australian ODI team for quite a few time now. He showed his all-round exploits in the recent ODI series against India where he gathered 86 runs at an average of 43.00 and a strike-rate of 86.87.

Besides, with the ball, he also grabbed four wickets while making him the second highest wicket-taker for Australia in the series. He will expect to perform on the same lines for Australia in the nearing 50-over event.
