However, the with opener Aaron Finch in their side, the Australian cricket team with have someone who'll rotate the stike along with the big sixes. In the previous match against the Afghans, the Skipper scored 66 runs of just 49 deliveries with a strike rate of 134.69. His current form will be crucial to the team and can play a major role in the team's win.
