Aaron Finch, the Australian skipper, was ruled out of the important face-off against Afghanistan in their final Super 12 encounter on November 4. While Cameron Green replaced talented batter Tim David, Steve Smith, Australia’s trusted batter, made his way into the squad to fill in for Finch.
Smith, who played his first game of the tournament, disappointed the team and fans as he contributed only 4 runs with the bat. Although the Kangaroos sealed the match in style, their hopes of making it to the knockouts were crushed when England defeated Sri Lanka the very next day.
