In the recent T20Is against England, David Warner blew hot and cold. Amidst three single-digit scores, he slammed 2 half-centuries.
After an extended lean patch, Glenn Maxwell managed to be a part of the Ultimate Team. For his solitary wicket and a blazing 12-ball 23 against Sri Lanka, he provided 28.5 points.
Mitchell Marsh does not bowl regularly. However, he has a decent record with the bat against England in the format: 133 runs at 33.
