Marcus Stoinis
Australia’s big finisher for the middle order, that’s the role Marcus Stoinis will be taking up in the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. The playing conditions in India and Stoinis have a good rapport as evidenced by him having the second best average while playing in these conditions. The all-rounder has amassed an impressive 380 runs from 11 outings. If that wasn’t grand enough, this player has 40 wickets to his name in the 50-overs format. Having won the 2021 T20 World Cup, this will be a second ODI World Cup appearance for the 34-year-old.
A memorable One-Day innings would be when Stoinis’ scored 146 runs against New Zealand in Auckland in 2017. It was his second ODI outing and he scored a triple figure score – his only in the format. Stoinis’ game helped rescue Australia from a precarious position of 54 for five. The right-handed batsman faced 110 deliveries and came very close to leading the Aussies to a successful chase of New Zealand’s 287-run target.
On a side note, Stoinis’ late father was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer when he scored his only ODI century. A fellow patient in the hospital wrote to Stoinis later, revealing how Stoinis Sr. switched cricket on all the TVs to watch his son play from the hospital.
