#2 Aaron Finch (Australia) - 634 runs

Australian team ODI skipper, Aaron Finch had ended the year 2018 with a string of low scores and looked completely out of touch. Critics questioned his place in the starting XI during the start of this year. But since then, he made a great comeback and silenced all his detractors. He picked up some form during ODI series against India and played some crucial innings in that series. He will now be hoping to carry on the good form into World Cup and provide his team with a good platform to build their totals.
Aaron Finch played 13 ODI matches this year and scored 634 runs at an impressive average of 52.83 including 2 centuries and 3 fifties.
#1 Usman Khawaja (Australia) - 769 runs

In absence of star opener David Warner, Usman Khawaja played some crucial knocks and cemented his place as an opener in the Australian ODI team. His consistent performances played a vital role in Australia's ODI series win against India earlier this year. He is going to be one of the key players for the Australian team during the upcoming tournament.
Khawaja played 13 ODI matches this year and scored 769 runs at an impressive average of 59.15 including 2 centuries and 6 fifties.
