Ahead of the game, here is a look at the top player stats, the best player picks, the top captain and vice-captain choices, and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of this encounter.

Five-time champions Australia are looking flat at the moment as they have begun their campaign on a poor note. It is very un-Australia as they are always known to raise their bar in the ICC events. With no points on the board and a net run rate of -1.846, they are languishing at the ninth position in the table.
