Australian ODI captain Aaron Finch did not ask for a better build-up for the 2019 World Cup than the five-match ODI series against Pakistan in the UAE, and said that the back-to-back ODI series for India Wins and Pakistan in their own backyard means that the team will be confident of the World Cup.
Finch said after the fifth ODI, "We will go into the World Cup with great confidence, even if a lot of people had written us." Probably our focus was here and it was our last hit. Before the World Cup 2019, so we wanted to go into that tournament with a lot of speed, "he said.
However, now Australia have a lot of problems in the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are in great form, David Warner.
"There will be some inauspicious people," Finch said that after the injury, you can also see the return of fast bowler Mitchell Starc, Jose Hedgelwood and Pat Cummins. He said, "Everyone has a chance, who has played some fantastic cricket. There will be some tough calls at the end of the day, but it is exciting for Australia at the same time because many people were killing us six months ago. "
Not only that Finch secured the series with a 5-0 margin for Australia, but the Australian opener kept his tangled form behind the batsman, scoring 451 runs in five matches at an average of 112.75, in which two centuries and two half-centuries Were included. Career-best 153 not out Not surprisingly, the Australian captain was named Player-of-Series, because he was out for the fall of 278 of George Bailey's 478 Australian record, only once for the Under 50 in the series - the highest in a bilateral series Run.
Finch started his tour with a score of 116 and 153 in Sharjah, before he scored 90 runs in Abu Dhabi and then scored 39 and 53 in the last two matches in Dubai.
Finch said on Sunday, "It was probably my most consistent (series) as a batsman." "I think if you retreat from my career, then sometimes it happens when I get a few hundred and there will also be fewer scores.
He said, "Getting a good start of every game and still killing myself on two occasions, (and the innings) where I could go ahead and get a score that won some big matches. The 32-year-old said, "It was good to start the series in a really good way and set the tone up early."
Finch achieved the form in the last two matches of the series against India, after Australia lost the first two ODIs to win 3-2.
He said, "In fact, some good chase, which is very pleasant now, which we have been able to shoot two wickets in Mohali (on the preceding tour of India) 360 and two times in Sharjah twice. . "
Finch's opening partnership series with Usman Khawaja was one of the high points of the win, with the pair now being statistically the greatest opening pair in their side's one-day history. Khawaja was the second highest scorer in the series for Australia after Finch, who scored 272 runs in five games with an average of 54.4, with three fifties.
The average partnership of Finch-Khwaja combination is 81.70 and they recorded their third 100-plus run stand on Sunday because Khwaja was two runs short of a century.
Khwaja said, "When he is doing the timing of the ball, he kills the gap too much." He said, 'He often does not hit the fielder. It was a fantastic innings that he played. I was disappointed that he did not get hundred because he was really worth it, the series he has, the way he is playing. "
Coach Justin Langer has praised Finch for his leadership and the Victorian opener said he is happy with how far Australia's 50-over game has come in recent months.
Finch said, "If you think six months ago, then a lot of people were killing us, many people were writing for all forms of cricket, not just for one-day cricket."
"So it has been really positive for the last few months and we are actually building and building really well. When you are building for something and you have changed your strategy and game plan a bit, It seems that it may take some time to develop it. Maybe it takes a little time for people to fully buy it and believe that this is the right way to play one-day cricket and the right strategy. , "Finch, who has 13 ODI tons in 109 matches now, said
