Australian cricket team would be aiming to win their 6th ODI WC by defeating India on 19th November at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Pat Cummins will have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to beat India who have been ruthless in all the 3 facets of the game. Pat Cummins hasn’t been able to work his magic with the ball in hand according to his credentials.
Head coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma will have to be smart with their selection for the summit clash. All eyes will be on the star batter Virat Kohli who once again will have to do the bulk of scoring as he is someone who not only can lay the foundation for the rest of the batters but can also smash a gigantic ton for the team.
You have just got to embrace every part of a final- Pat Cummins
Australian skipper Pat Cummins was having an interaction with the reporters ahead of the clash against India. Cummins was quite keen on Australia performing exceedingly well against India. The captain pointed out that the side’s aim is to keep the big crowd silent.
“The crowd is obviously going to be very one sided, but in sport there is nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent and that’s the aim for us tomorrow. You’ve just got to embrace every part of a final. Even in the lead-up, there is going to be noise and more people and interest, and you just can’t get overwhelmed, you have got to be up for it and you have got to love it,” said Pat Cummins.
I still don’t feel like we have played the complete game- Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins astonished everyone by stating that Aussies haven’t played their best game yet in the championship despite winning 8 matches on the bounce. Pat Cummins was happy that everyone has chipped in with quality performances and won the game for the nation.
“One of the pleasing things for us is I still don’t feel like we’ve played the complete game. Maybe against Netherlands, but outside of that, we probably haven’t as there’s been no huge wins and we’ve had to fight for every win and we have found a way to win and different players have stood up at different times,” said Pat Cummins.
“I think taking that confidence, knowing that we don’t have to be at our absolute best to challenge any team. We can find a way through it and all the boys draw a lot of confidence from that going to tomorrow,” he added.
