Australian spinners will be vulnerable to their strategy: Pat Cummins Australia’s skipper, Pat Cummins, believes that his team has a strategy for dealing with Indian bowlers in their opening encounter of the 2017 ICC Cricket World Cup. At Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium on October 8, the five-time champions will face India.
Cummins noted that the Australian have previously faced Indian spinners and performed admirably.
He added that the team’s victory in the third One Day International against India last month served as a significant boost going into the main competition.
“It (preparation) begins with practice in the days leading up to the game. The Australian players spin a lot. Our batting order had played frequently and successfully in India, so they are familiar with the majority of the (Indian) bowlers and have a strategy in place. We have a lot of faith. In the third ODI (in Rajkot), which was maybe a little bit closer to our strongest XI, we enjoyed a good victory. We’ve played a lot of ODIs in India, and we’ve had quite decent results,” Cummins was quoted as saying by The Week.
I’m anticipating a fantastic competition from Dave: Pat Cummins
David Warner, a seasoned batter, received additional appreciation from Cummins for his aggressive playing style. Prior to the World Cup, Warner was in excellent form during the most recent ODI series in India, scoring three straight half-centuries. The Australian team is prepared to compete in the ICC mega event, according to the captain.
In the past month, Dave Warner has excelled, especially in white-ball cricket. He’s aggressive in addition to scoring runs. He is assuming the challenge and starting the innings off strong. I therefore anticipate a fantastic tournament from Dave. He has been reliable, and I appreciate the approach he is taking, said Cummins.
“India feels like a second home. With the five ODIs in South Africa and the three matches against India, the preparations have been excellent. It seems like we have enough games for both the starting lineup and the bench, the Australian player continued.
