🏏Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #5: Ind vs Aus Th # 2 link Pg 150 - Page 2

Probable Best Batter:

Virat Kohli (India):

The former India captain is in fine form and is expected to replicate his recent performances in the side's first match in the ICC mega event. He was magnificent for India in the continental championship, with his best performance coming against Pakistan in which he scored a 122* and produced an unbeaten 233-run partnership with KL Rahul.

Probable Best Bowler:

Mohammed Siraj (India):

Mohammed Siraj could be India's best bowler in the upcoming match. The right-armer was crucial for India in the Asia Cup 2023 final against Sri Lanka, finishing with a career-best 6/21. After missing the first two ODIs against Australia in the recent series, he played the third ODI and picked one wicket.

In the spotlight - Hardik Pandya and Glenn Maxwell

Back after being rested for the ODI series against Australia, Hardik Pandya is perhaps the most important member of India's line-up. Apart from everything he brings to the table with the bat, he's a genuine third seamer in white-ball cricket, his presence allowing India to pick an extra seamer or spinner as the conditions dictate. Much of their team-building worries over the last few months have revolved around finding ways to play six bowlers without compromising batting depth; Hardik is the one man who makes it possible.Picking a squad for Indian conditions with only one frontline spinner is a risk, but for Australia it's slightly less of a risk because Glenn Maxwell has turned himself into a genuine allrounder in ODIs. It's a relatively new development - he averaged 130.66 with the ball in 61 ODIs in the 2016-20 period but has taken his wickets at 28.53 since then - and Australia will be glad his improvement has coincided with this World Cup cycle. On a Chennai pitch that's expected to turn, he may have to bowl a full 10

We can't really say how many matches they need to win to go to semi finals.

Each country has to play against rest of the 9 countries once. Each country has a chance to win 18 points. After completing the group matches, The top 4 teams in the points table (with better net run rate if they are tied with points) will go to Semi Finals. Bottom 6 will go home.

It depends on how teams perform.

The 4 teams with most points will qualify
