England captain Eoin Morgan has won the toss and sent Australia to bat first in their 2019 ICC World Cup game at Lord's in London on Tuesday (Jun 25).
Australia captain Aaron Finch believes his side's proven ability to handle World Cup pressure will stand them in good stead.
If World Cup holders Australia defeat their arch rivals at Lord's, it will damage hosts England's hopes of reaching the semi-finals.
England may have been the pre-tournament favourites but they have never won the World Cup, whereas Australia have lifted the trophy five times.
"I think that over the World Cup history, Australia have had a very good history of peaking at the right time," Finch told reporters at Lord's on Monday.
"Over a lot of that history Australia have played their best cricket under the greatest pressure.
