Australia and England will play at Edgbaston in the second semifinal of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup. Australia will secure horns with England in an all significant World Cup 2019 conflict.
Notwithstanding coming in as the defending champions, Aaron Finch and Co. found themselves in the unfamiliar position of not being viewed as front-runners for the coveted world title. With a significant part of the pre-competition publicity centered around hosts England and India, Australia were still observed by numerous individuals as a side still on the move as they slipped under the radar. In any case, if the history of the World Cup has shown us anything, Australia are serial champs and they were the first team to secure their qualification for the knockout stages in the 2019 edition. The five-time World Champions will challenge the semis for the eighth time and will do as such safe in the knowledge that when they have achieved the last four before.
Coming into the competition as hosts and the No.1 ODI side in the world, England have needed to manage elevated expectations in their offer to win their first-since forever men’s World Cup. The first objective of achieving the semi-final stages for the first time since 1992 has been accomplished, however, regardless of whether there were a few nerve-destroying minutes en route.
Toss – The toss between Australia and England will occur at 2.30 PM.
Time: 3.00 PM IST
Venue: Edgbaston, Birmingham
Wicketkeepers: It will be a dubious choice to pick between the two strong keepers – Alex Carey and Jos Buttler. Yet, Buttler’s capacity to perform in pressure situations and wealth of experience against the top teams give him a favorable position over Carey. In any case, Carey’s top form enables him to play as a pure batsman in the fantasy XI.
Batsmen: The likes of David Warner, Aaron Finch, Eoin Morgan, Steve Smith, Jonny Bairstow or Jason Roy are sufficient to ingrain dread in the minds of opposition bowlers. These players can without much of a stretch walk into any fantasy XI in the world.
Bowlers: Rated as real wicket-takers in any form of cricket – Mitchell Starc, Jofra Archer and Pat Cummins are a need for any fantasy team in the world. Alongside them, Nathan Lyon can be picked as the lone spinner in the fantasy team.
All-Rounder: For his big-hitting abilities and a knack for getting essential scalps at significant stages – Ben Stokes can be picked in the fantasy XI for the big-ticket game.
