Best economical pick – Not many people rated Haris Rauf before this tournament and if his numbers were anything to go by, he did blow hot and cold in his T20I career. However, he has been sensational in this World Cup. Such has been his effectiveness in the death overs that against India and New Zealand, he conceded only 23 runs in overs between16-20. There is little doubt that Australia will target him, but Rauf has emerged as a skillful bowler. He is rapid when he wants to crank it up, but then with the same arm speed his slower balls are well disguised and he becomes extremely difficult to go after.

Top captains & vice captains – Mohammad Rizwan is a right-handed wicketkeeper-batsman from Pakistan who opens the innings for them. He has stacked 214 runs in this tournament so far. He has the potential to pile up huge runs if he gets going early on. David Warner is a left-handed batsman from Australia who opens the innings for them. He has smashed 187 runs in this tournament so far. His return in form has been Australia’s greatest strength.

Smart pick – Aaron Finch is a right-handed batsman from Australia who leads the team. He has smacked 130 runs in this tournament so far. He will be aiming to win the powerplay for his side with the bat.

Cautious Pick – Hasan Ali has been ineffective as the third seamer. Without doubt, Ali is an effervescent cricketer and has the talent to succeed at the top level. But it is a fact that the 27-year-old has failed to deliver for Pakistan in this World Cup. He went for 44 against India even though he claimed a couple of wickets. And he hasn’t shown a lot of improvement in the other games either.

My XI – Mohammad Rizwan (Captain), David Warner (Vice-Captain), Aaron Finch, Haris Rauf, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, Asif Ali, Mathew Wade, Marcus Stoinis, Fakhar Zaman
