The matches played by the teams in Group 1 were mostly scheduled in Melbourne, but due to rain in Melbourne some matches were affected and the points were distributed. The much-anticipated match between Australia and England was also canceled due to rain and points were shared between the two teams.
New Zealand is the strongest team in Group 1. Top of the points table with 2 wins from 3 matches and one point from rain in one match with a total of 5 points.
England, Ireland and Australia are in 2nd, 3rd and 4th position with 3 points each. New Zealand will progress from Group 1 to the semi-finals. Both Australia and England have a chance to advance to the semi-finals as the 2nd team.
England will face New Zealand and Sri Lanka in the last 2 matches. Australia will face Ireland and Afghanistan in the last 2 matches. Australia has a semi-final chance only if it wins these 2 matches with a good run rate.
In such a critical situation, let’s take a look at Australia’s proposed playing XI for the must-win match against Ireland in Brisbane tomorrow.

Proposed Australian Team:
David Warner, Aaron Finch (captain), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zamba, Josh Hazlewood.
