Australia skipper Aaron Finch confirmed the make-up of Australia’s playing XI ahead of their opening match in Super 12 against South Africa here on Saturday. Though Finch did not reveal the players in the XI, he gave a rough idea of how the XI would look with all-rounders Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis set to play among seven batters and four bowlers.

“We’re going with seven batters and four specialist bowlers, including the all-rounders. We’ve got a lot of confidence in the depth of our squad. We’ve got a lot of confidence in Maxwell, Stoinis, and Marsh to be able to bowl in four overs as well just to—just as a chop out. We think that on these wickets in these conditions, that they can do a really good job and be an attacking option as much as anything,” said Finch in the pre-match press conference on Friday.
