Pat Cummins’ big statement on record breaking win
Pat Cummins, while talking about the match and the pitch after the spectacular win, said that I think it was easier than sitting in the dugout. There were a few nervous hours but it felt good to get the win. It was not expected that Starc and Hazlewood would complete their overs so quickly. We knew that the pitch here would spin later but it was a bit cloudy so we were not too disappointed about bowling first. We talk a lot about our fielding, maybe it wasn’t up to par at the beginning of the tournament but today we were fantastic.
Travis Head took important wickets
Pat Cummins praised the bowling of Travis Head, saying that Head was the man to take important wickets in the middle overs today. Inglis played beautifully, he looked in complete control there, especially against two quality spinners. Some of us have played in finals before, others have played in T20 World Cup finals, the final will have packed stadiums, it will be mostly one-sided but it is about embracing it. The 2015 World Cup was a career highlight, so to play another final in India, we are very happy as a team and looking forward to the final.
Travis Head told the team’s game plan
Travis Head, who was the hero of Australia’s victory, said that his team had planned to chase the target in a positive manner. Head played an important role in helping the team win by taking two wickets for 21 runs and scoring 62 runs in 48 balls. When asked about aggressive batting, Head said that our approach is positive, we are trying to get ahead of the required run rate. I am disappointed with the way I got out. He changed the course of the match by bowling Heinrich Klaasen with a brilliant ball. Head said it was like a straight ball. I wanted to take wickets. I didn’t even know how the ball turned and hit the wicket. After seeing the pitch, I was ready to bowl a few overs.
