ICC World Cup 2019: 3 key players for Australia

#2 Aaron Finch

Being the captain of the defending champions will bring a lot of pressure to Aaron Finch's shoulders. However, the 32-year old looks to be enjoying his leadership days, scoring a lot of runs of late.

Finch has played for Australia in 109 ODIs and scored 4052 runs. In the recently concluded Pakistan series, the right-handed batsman bagged 451 runs including two centuries and two half-centuries. He has 634 runs from 13 matches in 2019 and has significantly improved his form after scoring 493 runs in 11 matches in 2018.

Aaron Finch might have a new partner in opening the innings, with the return of David Warner. The skipper had an excellent right-left combination with Usman Khawaja and will be expecting the same with Warner. His explosive starts will be key to Australia in the power play He also holds a decent record in England and averages close to 35.
