Australia have a plenty of concerns going into the World Cup, which they would definitely like to address to in the this series. Number 1 is the position at which captain Finch bats. He dropped down to No 4 vs West Indies, a decision which worked in first match. But with Cameron Green not there in World Cup squad, who is going to replace him in the big ticket tournament at the top. The other concern is Steve Smith's form. He is supposed to be the anchor of the side but his strike rate has been a concern. There are plenty of power-hitters to follow but Smith and out of form Finch consume a lot of deliveries before they arrive to the crease.
