5 Players That Can Turn Proteas-australia Champions Trophy Clash

It may be a group stage meeting, but theres no disputing that the clash between South Africa and Australia will be a highly-pressurised ICC Champions Trophy encounter on Tuesday.

While the India-Pakistan clash over the weekend failed to deliver in terms of excitement as it was a completely one-sided affair, the match which involves the Proteas promises to be a more even contest in Rawalpindi.

As such there will be a number of key clashes, and with both sides missing a number of big-name players there will be a bigger emphasis on individual battles.

Here are five players that could turn the contest.

The swashbuckling, unconventional stroke-player Glen Maxwell can easily sway the result if hes on his game. He didnt have too much say in Australias romp to victory as they chased down a record total with consummate ease against England in their first Group B match last week, and will want to have a bigger impact against SA.
