Group B Squads and analysis
Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Ben Dwarshuis, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Renshaw, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
Mitchell Marsh leads the team like he did two year ago when the Aussies’ run ended in the Super Eight stage. Marsh was central to Australia’s only title-winning run in 2021, when he smashed an unbeaten 77* in the Final against New Zealand.
Their other pivotal pieces are fellow opener Travis Head, who is well regarded for his batting against spin bowling, all-rounder Cameron Green and the leg-spinning white ball specialist Adam Zampa.
Their form leading in has been patchy, but in theory, Australia has a draw that could offer a pivotal build-up of rhythm to start working their way into the tournament.
