Having accumulated 15 points from four matches, the George Baily-led
Australia undoubtedly start as overwhelming favourites with a fit-again
Mitchell Johnson set to bolster the attack at the WACA.
Despite the absence of Michael Clarke, they have appeared to be a gelled unit, with both their batting and bowling clicking during the tournament.
Perhaps the biggest question mark for them is the form of Bailey. He has scored 10 and 5 in his two outings thus far, before being suspended for the Hobart match against England.
With Shane Watson still under an injury cloud, it is expected that the team management might give Bailey another go at number three in the batting chart. The rest of the batting line-up picks itself. With Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Haddin and James Faulkner slotting in, they bat as deep as number eight.
The hosts will certainly bank on their pace battery led by Johnson and Mitchell Starc on a fast and bouncy track as.
