T20 World Cup 2021

Solid start. We're gonna need plenty though, looks a good pitch
-
Not a great power play but only one wicket down. Williamson looking bogged down though and already showing signs of frustration with that last shot.

I back Kane to read the pitch like he did in the CWC. If he is struggling and seems content to just hang in there then it's probably the right call.
I'm thankful we have a skipper willing to play the long game and who doesn't think the final needs to be won in the first three balls of his innings.

Finch has won 18 of last 22 T20 tosses for Australia. With that sort of luck he should be being lotto tickets.

Yeah, looks like they're happy to keep wickets in hand and launch a bit later. We will want 160 at least though I would think.

It frees the balance of the order to play their natural game now - you don't have Seifert or Phillips in two minds having to nurse the innings through but also keep the run rate going. We can pretty much go full speed in an over or two.
Aussie should have kept some spin up their sleeves for toward the end.

Aus well on top after the first quarter
We've sucked up three overs of Hazelwood and Kane is at the wicket and established. Line ball at the point with 9 wickets in hand IMO.
-
Excellent, we will take as many drop catches as possible from the Aussies
-
Doully reckons 150-160 is very competitive on this wicket
-
Starc losing the plot, amazing from Kane to get that beamer to the fence. Innings finally gets some momentum
-
Guppy falls to Zampa. Spinners may be tough to get away on a slower pitch
