Australia captured their first T20 World Cup in last year’s final in Dubai, beating New Zealand by eight wickets. Finch and co. hardly stood a chance after a torrid time in T20Is, sustaining five series losses in a row. However, they lost only one game during their victorious T20 World Cup campaign.
In an official release, the 35-year old said that is keen to play the T20 World Cup at home, and expects the tournament to be a grand success. The Victorian hopes to see fans support the team as Finch and co. look to successfully defend their title. He said:
Australia won the previous two editions of the World Cup Down Under convincingly. The men’s team beat New Zealand in the 2015 World Cup final at the MCG. Meanwhile, the women’s team brushed aside India at the same venue in the T20 World Cup final in 2020 to lift the trophy.
