Australian Player Mitchell Starc Hoping Dew Comes and Reverse Swing Stays Away
Team Australia managed to restrict the Indian cricket team to 240 all-out in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with a disciplined bowling performance.
Mitchell Starc produced figures of 3/55 from his 10 overs and was happy that their plan worked out on the big stage.
At the mid-inning break, Mitchell Starc said, “You can always plan for things; the way we contributed with the ball was fantastic first up, and now out there, we need to do the job with the bat.”
He further added that “there is not a whole heap of help for the seam bowlers and swing bowlers; I was trying to do a few different things and vary the pace a little bit. Patty Cummins and Josh Hazlewood were outstanding, and obviously there was a little bit of reverse at the back end. Hopefully, we restricted them to enough runs.”
The five-time champions quieted the heavily pro-Indian crowd inside the 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium, something Captain Pat Cummins had promised before the summit clash.
