What did Travis Head say about potential India-Australia clash in T20 World Cup final?
Travis Head reflected on past performances and his crucial role in Australia's victories over India in the previous ICC event finals. He expressed confidence in Australia's potential to reach the final again.
"It would be nice. It would be nice to be in the final. I think everyone in India would love that, especially considering what's happened in the last two finals. So, I'm sure India wants some revenge at some point. There would be good theatre around it if that were the case. Let's hope that we're in it, and let's hope you're in it, and we'll see what happens," Head told Times of India.
Reflecting on his performances in the last two ICC event finals, where he scored centuries, Head was confident in Australia's abilities to reach the final once again. However, he acknowledged the challenge posed by India's strong lineup, with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and the exceptional bowling of Jasprit Bumrah.
"India is in good hands. I think you could probably name four or five teams that are going to be in the mix. Playing an attacking brand of cricket is crucial for them. With Rohit and Virat, and their exceptional bowling led by star bowler Bumrah, who has also been outstanding in the IPL, their chances are high. Their chances are probably similar to the three or four other teams that are in contention," he added.
Despite Australia's win in the 2021 T20 World Cup final, their journey in the subsequent edition was cut short in the league stage. As they gear up for the current tournament, expectations are high, considering their recent title records.
