Australia

To prevent a sweep over India in the three-match ODI series, Pat Cummins’ team won the third game. The Australian captain would like to address the bowling attack’s flaws from the series. Although they won’t face much of a struggle against the Netherlands, Cummins wants his team’s main players to perform well and gain confidence before the competition.  

The team will want David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, and Travis Head to perform well and gain confidence because everyone in the top order has scored runs in previous games. The team management will be watching how Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis perform in this match because the middle and lower middle order hasn’t been in the best shape.  

In the most recent games, first against the South Africans and then against the Indians, the bowling attack has taken a beating. In this match, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins all need to improve their lines. The bowler to watch out for will be Adam Zampa, who will benefit from the conditions on these spinner-friendly surfaces along with Maxwell and Ashton Agar.
