Captain Australia Pat Cummins said it was finally nice to see something other than the finals of India vs Australia in front of the World Cup in the Test (WTC) Championship (WTC). Australia and South Africa are ready to lock the corners in the WTC 11th June in Lord’s.
For the first time, India will not be part of a blockbuster clash How they failed to seal the bed in the finals and ended the third on the point table, earned 50% of points. Recently, before the Cummins finals, India had regularly appeared in the finals in the last few years, but it was nice to see another team from them.
“In some ways you expect India to be around. England was quite strong at home and in New Zealand it seems to always get into the finals.
Cummins led Australia to the crown of the World Championship in 2023 and defeated India in the finals in the finals. He also led Australia to 2023 ODI World Cup triumphs and defeated India with six goals in the final.
The Australian captain will have his eyes to keep his crown in the upcoming WTC final to keep his clean record in the ICC finals.
In addition, Cummins also shared his views on the criticism of South Africa to have a seemingly simpler way to the WTC finals and said that they could only beat the teams they play against.
“You can only beat you against you. Our journey to the final was quite hard, but I don’t blame South Africa for another way. Their bowling has always excelled and now it is nothing else.
South Africa faced India, New Zealand (away), Western India (Gone), Bangladesh (Gone), Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the current WTC cycle, and ended up with a percentage of 69.44%. On the other hand, Australia faced England (away), Pakistan, New Zealand (away), India and Sri Lanka (away) on his way to the finals.
