The Australia men’s cricket team is undoubtedly a force to reckon in any tournament these days. The team has won the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and is unbeaten in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 so far. Glenn Maxwell has praised Australia openers Travis Head and David Warner.
The Australian team is supposed to face off against Afghanistan tomorrow for a Super 8 match at the Arnos Vale Ground in the West Indies. Afghanistan has recently lost a match against India. India and Australia are to play against each other on 24 June.
Glenn Maxwell on why the Aussie openers work well
Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has praised the opening duo of David Warner and Travis Head. He also explained why these two complement each other so well.
Maxwell revealed how playing for SunRisers Hyderabad as an opener, and dominating in the tournament has shown how good Travis Head can be as well as given him confidence.
“Yeah, I think they both hit it in such different areas. I know they both cut well, but I think the way that Trav has gone through the IPL, dominated, done really well, it’s come in with a lot of confidence and he’s just played such good, aggressive cricket and probably taken the game away from a lot of teams. And David has started so crisp pretty much in most of the games,” Maxwell said in the pre-match press conference.
Adding on, he also looked back on the Australia vs England match.”And you got to look back at that England game where they sort of broke the back of the match in those first six overs when the wicket wasn’t playing like a 12 an over in a power play type of game, but the way that they I suppose got us ahead allowed us to sort of set up the back end and we’re very blessed to have two extremely talented guys at the top of the order who are doing a great job for us,” he added.
