Australia will need star man Glenn Maxwell to snap out of his poor batting form if they are to defend their T20 World Cup crown, with one of his fast-bowling teammates backing him to do just that.
Maxwell, still viewed as the X-factor of the Australian batting card, cannot get anything going with the willow, having made just 16 runs in his last six innings at a tame average of 2.7.
He misfired in Wednesday night's loss to England, failing to find the boundary in his 11-ball eight as Australia's top order again struggled.
