I think this is their best line up as well, but slightly unbalanced, perhaps due to Dave and Smith being absent and now they have to re-accommodate them. Khwaja was doing well as an opener, before Warner came back. His scores are 104, 91, 100, 24, 88, 0, 62, 98 in the games leading up to the WC vs Ind and Pak. Since then 15, 13, 42, 18, 10. Playing him low down the order is a waste of a player like him. Don't really rate Stoinis very high with the bat as well.
If they are put into a 300+ chase against a bowling like ours or kiwis, they would be in a problem. We have already beaten them after putting up 350. They need to bat first especially against a team like England, and use their opening bowlers to attack a team with high RRR.
It was against WI though, who made Bangladesh look like they'd score 400, so I wouldn't draw many conclusions based on that game. I think when under pressure, that middle to lower order can easily fault a high scoring chase.
). However even now when he's in at three you could argue Smith should go to join Warner to maintain the R-L partnership. Warner's return really seems to have fecked Khawaja, he seems to look a square peg every innings recently.
