Steve Smith will be coming one wicket down with his extirence. He should also play an anchor innings and also keep rotating strikes and gaining one-two runs. Marnus Labuschagne can also perform constant coming at number 4.

Accelerators

Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, and Josh Inglis will be tasked with accelerating the run rate in the final overs to maximize the total or chase down any target set. While Maxwell can be inconsistent, his match-winning ability is beyond question.

Pacers

Australia have three strong pacers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood in the Champions Trophy 2025. They will be a nightmare for any team. All the three fast bowler have bagged more than 100 wickets in ODI format. With Mitchell Starc having the most with 244 wickets. While, Hazelwood is ranked 10the in the ODI rankings.

Spinners

Adam Zampa will be Australia’s primary spinner, having proven to be a dependable player and currently holding the highest ODI ranking among Australian bowlers. Marnus Labuschagne and Glenn Maxwell could serve as part-time spinning options for the team.
