WCL 2025: Predicting Australia XI for semi-final 2

Australia Champions will take on South Africa Champions in the second semi-final of the World Championship of Legends 2025 on Thursday, July 31, at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Australia won two out of five games in the league stage and finished in third position. In the previous game against South Africa, Australia was bundled out for 146 runs and lost the match by 95 runs.

Let’s look at the probable playing XI of Australia Champions for the second semi-final of the World Championship of Legends 2025:

Top Order: 

Shaun Marsh, Chris Lynn, and D’Arcy Short are likely to be in the top order of the batting unit. Lynn is the highest run-scorer for Australia in the tournament and has amassed 112 runs at a strike rate of 254.54. The other two batters didn’t have a great outing in the tournament so far and would look to make a significant contribution in this important game.

Middle Order:

Ben Dunk and Dan Christian might be a part of the middle order. Dunk has been among the top run-scorers for the team and has made 71 runs at a strike rate of 208.82. Christian has been in excellent form with the ball and has four wickets to his name at an average of 33.50. 

Lower Middle Order:

Callum Ferguson and Ben Cutting are likely to be there in the lower middle order. Cutting was the highest scorer for Australia in the last game against South Africa. Ferguson is the second-highest run-scorer for Australia.

Bowlers: 

Nathan Coulter-Nile, Peter Siddle, Steve O’Keefe, and Brett Lee might be the four bowlers in the playing 11. Siddle is the leading wicket-taker for Australia and has picked seven wickets. Coulter-Nile and O’Keefe have picked three wickets each, while Leet has taken four wickets.
