Points Table

Australia Form Guide:

Australia are in an ordinary form in ODI cricket lately. They have recently lost a 5 match series against South Africa by 3-2 and a 3 match ODI series against India by 2-1.

In both the series, Australia suffered sudden collapse from strong positions. They will have to work on that ahead of the upcoming matches in ICC Cricket World Cup.

Warm up match performance:

Australia performed well in both their warm up matches. Against Netherlands, the vintage Mitchell Starc was back with his pitch perfect yorkers. Against Pakistan, the Australian batting clicked and they posted a 350+ total.

Players to look out for:

1. Glenn Maxwell - He is an impact all rounder who can both bat and bowl very well. Maxwell can be devastative on turning pitches with the bat.

2. Mitchell Starc - He looked to be in good flow in the Warm up games and should carry the form into the League games of Cricket World Cup.

India Form Guide:

India are the hosts and also big contenders for winning the World Cup. They are in great form in recent times.

India won the recently concluded Asia Cup after defeating Sri Lanka comfortably in the Finals. They also emerged victorious against Australia in a 3 match series by 2-1.

Warm up match performance:

Both of India's warm up matches were washed off due to rain. However, the team has had good match practice leading to the World Cup and all the players look ready for the big challenge.

Players to look out for:

1. Virat Kohli - He is a big match player and performs brilliantly when it comes to ICC events. Kohli will play an important role for India with the bat in the upcoming matches.

2. Jasprit Bumrah - He is one of the best bowlers India has produced in the last few years. Bumrah has made a comeback after injury but he looked fresh and accurate with his bowling in the last few games he participated in.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav.

Australia squad: Pat Cummins (c), Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Starc.
