‘Hunt in a pack’: The Aussies will be relying on their team spirit to take them forward

Team: David Warner, Steve Smith, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Glenn Maxwell

Predicted finish: 4th

Experience: The team are experts at playing mind-games against their opponents during battle

Star: Glenn Maxwell

The Aussies are undoubtedly the rockstars of the cricket field. Over the years, they have boasted of a number of athletic, well-built players who have dominated the game of cricket. They sailed into the final round, but did struggle in the earlier qualification rounds that were held in Sri Lanka.

The start is crucial for the Aussies as they will look to distract their opponents and gain a crucial mental edge in the race. David Warner will be trusted to get them off to an electric start. The pugnacious 29 year old hates settling for second place and will get his team off to a good start.

Nathan Coulter-Nile will take it on from Warner. He will look to run straight and do his job, maintaining a dead eye focus as he passes it on to Steven Smith.

Steven Smith will surpass all expectations with his performance. While he might not look like a natural, sometimes defying the physics of running, he will do a very commendable job with his unique style.

Glenn Maxwell will be trusted with the final 100 metres for Australia. There are no doubts over the Australian’s talent or athleticism, but a lot will depend on which Glenn Maxwell turns up on the day, as he has been plagued with inconsistency throughout his career.
