The defending champions have started their campaign on a good note. The return of Steven Smith and David Warner has definitely lifted their morale and once again made them a force to reckon with. After their defeat to India, they bounced back quite strong to beat Pakistan in their previous encounter.

However, the injury to their star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis could prove to be a huge blow to the team, if he fails to recover in time. Australia have performed well so far but are not yet at their dominant best but could be pipped to make it to the semifinals.

Key Performers thus far-

David Warner (255 Runs from four innings)

Pat Cummins & Mitchell Starc (9 wickets each from four matches)
