Tunisia XI to play Australia: Khazri benched for key World Cup game

The 25-year-old CS Sfaxien custodian put up a good show against Denmark and he has kept his spot in the team.

Apart from defending, Drager can push on on the right flank and his crosses will be crucial for the strikers.

The Lorient defender has been one of the key figures for the Atlas Lions, especially in the central defensive role with his superb defensive instinct.

Bronn has been superb for his Serie A club Salernitana and he led the line well against Denmark. This enabled him to retain his starting role.

The Esperance defender plays in the middle of a three-man backline and did well against Denmark.

The 28-year-old Abdi is important for Tunisia with his lung-bursting runs from the left. He created two chances against Denmark which were not used.

The FC Koln midfielder has once again been preferred in central midfield where he played amazingly well in the opener.

Laidouni partnered Skhiri against Denmark and he will get another chance to help the North Africans get a much-needed victory.

Sliti who features for Al-Ettifaq is a change for Tunisia from the first game as he comes in for Anis Ben Slimane.

With this likely to be his last appearance in the global competition, Msakni will play behind Jebali.

Wahbi Khazri has not started so Jebali has this opportunity to lead the line.
