Top 5 finishers going into the Champions Trophy

#3 Marcus Stoinis

The Australian all-rounder is fairly new to the International stage

The Australian all-rounder is fairly new to the International stage but could fit the bill as a lower order finisher. Capable of hitting the ball a long way, Stoinis is a huge plus for Australia in search of a hitter down the order.

James Faulkner was considered Australia's finisher. But of late, Faulkner has struggled with the willow in hand and Stoinis came in at the apt time. Faulkner is now used more as a bowler and Australia can rest knowing that Stoinis can do an equally good, if not better, job.

He smacked a career-best 146 against New Zealand in a tense chase but inspite of finishing on the losing side, his ability to play the counter-attacking game from down the order gained attention. The manner in which he shielded the no.11 batsman to an extent that he did not face a ball in a fifty run stand showed that Stoinis belongs at this level.
