BENGALURU, India : Australia's top order are working hard to set things right at the World Cup and a batting-friendly wicket like Bengaluru should provide the right platform to score plenty of runs when they play Pakistan, skipper Pat Cummins said on Thursday.
Australian cricket team star David Warner won hearts as he helped the groundstaff in covering the pitch when rain interrupted play at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. Sri Lanka were 178 for four against Australia when rain stopped play and while most of the cricketers were quickly leaving the field, Warner stayed back and he was seen dragging the covers along with the stadium staff. The video of him helping them was posted by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on their social media profiles and users were all praise for the veteran cricketer's gesture.
Pre-match talk of Pat Cummins being sensationally dropped from Australia's World Cup lineup to face Sri Lanka was proved unfounded and also somewhat ludicrous after the pace-bowling skipper produced a crucial spell to help beat the South Asians.
Panned for his poor show in the opening two Cricket World Cup matches, Australia's sole frontline spinner at the World Cup Adam Zampa said that expensive figures don't bother him as he bowls to get wickets. Australia found themselves in a precarious situation after suffering back-to-back losses against India and South Africa before notching up a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka on Monday. Zampa, who has enjoyed a lot of success between the 2019 World Cup and the start of the ongoing edition, flattered to deceive in the opening two games, going for plenty of runs. "I'm very good at self-reflection. I look back on the first two games and I'll probably look at the last game as one where I could have made a difference there and made it easy for those other guys," Zampa said after Australia's win.
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa returned figures of 4-47 while Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis hit fifties to help Australia beat Sri Lanka by five wickets for their first win at the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Monday.
It was a happy hunting day for the Pat Cummins-led Australian cricket team in the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Monday. After losing their first two matches, Australia desperately needed to get back to winning ways at the Cricket World Cup 2023, and the side did it with supreme perfection. However, there was one moment in the game, when David Warner was left fuming over a LBW decision. The left-handed star batter was visibly displeased by a LBW call from umpire Joel Wilson.
LUCKNOW, India: Five-time champions Australia injected some life into their moribund World Cup campaign with a comprehensive five-wicket victory against Sri Lanka on Monday (Oct 16).
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa on Monday revealed that he has been suffering from back spasm for the last couple of days, but that could not come in his way of producing a match-winning effort against Sri Lanka in the World Cup. The 31-year-old Zampa was adjudged the Player of the Match after returning impressive figures of 8-1-47-4 as Australia posted their first win of the ongoing tournament.
