Australia won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Mitchell Marsh said, “We’re going to bowl first. It’s a fresh wicket and hopefully go well. Oh look, yeah, we certainly respect the noise, I guess you could say, from back home when things don’t quite go to plan for us as a team.”
“We sort of know that’s coming, we respect it. We reflect on ways to get better moving forward. But the last couple of days, obviously, a really disappointed group to not make through the Super 8s,” added Marsh.
“But today is a World Cup match for Australia and we certainly want to finish with a win. While asked about today Australia Cricket Team playing list, Marsh said, “Just the one change, Matt Renshaw comes in for Cooper Connolly.
Meanwhile, Jatinder Singh said, “Certainly would have batted first, because it looks like a wonderful track to bat on. Yep. No, no, it’s fine, it’s fine. We wanted to bat first. Well, I think this tournament has been a learning curve in our careers, everyone, because I’ve been preaching that, you know, we lack a bit of experience and exposure.”
“I think boys will take a lot of things, a lot of positives from the tournament, and we will bounce back a lot stronger. Well, it’s an honor for us to play against Australia because rarely we get a chance to play with the full members, and boys are looking forward to it.”
“Yeah, we have four changes in the side, so the guys who didn’t get a chance to play last game, they’re all playing in this game,” concluded Jatinder Singh.
