Australia has a pretty good result – Michael Atherton
Talking about Sky Sports, the former Australia’s opener Matthew Hayden said the side under the leadership of Steve Smith had 20 run from the winning result. He said:
“When you think about the way Australia set up its inings – at 37. Smith was still there … Smith went out [with the score] In 198, then Maxwell, 205, that moment is why I say that they are 20 running. But this is the semifinal of the global event – the ICC champion trophy is desirable – and the pressure is important on the board. “
Meanwhile, Michael Atheron said Aussies had registered a good result, but missed the opportunity to add 20 more running to the total number. He said:
“Australia has a pretty good result – 264 in a knockout game is pressured by the side of the chasing – but they left a few running outside after they lost Wikets in the wrong time. Smith and then Maxwell.
“This also looks the best tone we saw in Dubai in this tournament. The strange ball turned, but not much. Australia will be frustrated that they have not achieved another 20.”
Also, former Australia captain Aaron Finch said India would easily persecute the goal. He said:
“I think India will be pleased with that. The head went on a flyer, but Shami was great again. All the bowlers were supposed to be fair. They did not allow Australia to get out of them at any stage and it will be very sure that it will persecute it.”
