Australia's Key Players and Challenges
Australia is entering the IND vs AUS semi-final without five key players from their 2023 ODI World Cup-winning team:
- Pat Cummins
- Mitchell Starc
- Mitch Marsh
- Josh Hazlewood
- Marcus Stoinis
With these players absent, Australia will rely on experienced batsmen like Steve Smith and Travis Head to counter India's dominant run. Travis Head, for instance, has been a nightmare for India in recent years, but acclimatizing to the slow Dubai pitches could be an issue.
