#1 Ability to raise their game
The Australians are the most consistent performers in the world cup. They have never lost a semi-final and made to the finals on seven occasions out of 11 world cups which shows how well they soak the pressure in crunch situations.
It was famously said that you can't be assured of a win against Australia until the last ball of the match is bowled.
This is relevant in their semifinal wins in 1996 world cup when they choked the West Indies team to win narrowly by five runs or a dramatic tie against South Africa in the 1999 World Cup semifinal.
The Aussies know how to win big games and with their ability to raise their game in big tournaments, Australia definitely can defend their title.
