Will IPL Experience Help In ICC World Cup 2023? Australia Star's Clear Take
Marcus Stoinis will be key to the Australian middle order and will also have the responsibility of picking key wickets with the ball. With a fantastic behind him where he scored 480 runs at a strike rate of 170 plus for the Lucknow Super Giants, Stoinis is a confident man and is looking ahead to yet another successful World Cup campaign with the Australian team. “I tend to agree with you that we have a very good side. If you take a look at each department of the game, you will see Australia has all the bases covered. We have power hitters at the top of the order who can set the tempo, we have some fantastic batters in the middle order and then we have a good lower middle order who can make tangible contributions. With the ball, we have fantastic fast bowlers and some very good spin options. So it is a well-rounded team and I certainly would like to believe we will have a very good World Cup campaign. Having said that I don't think I agree with the tag of favourites. There are a number of teams which are very good and they have some very good players. So while we do have a very good side, these tags don't really mean much to us as players, ” said Marcus Stoinis on Australia's World Cup chances while speaking to Revsportz on Backstage With Boria show.
