In the Cricket History number one leg spinner and ex Australian test cricketer Shane Warne questioning on Australian team selection for T20 World Cup 2021 on his Twitter Account.
Shane Warne disappointed on the selection of playing eleven in power play, in his opinion the selection of Maxwell to bat in power play on the replacement of Marsh was wrong. He also not happy with the selection of his favorite Smith as T20 team member.
“Disappointing selection from Australia leaving Marsh out & Maxwell batting in power play ( he should always come after power play). Stoinis should have gone on. Poor strategy & tactics from the Aussies. I love Smith but he shouldn’t be in the T/20 team. Marsh has to be !!” Shane Warne wrote on his Twitter account.
Australia who lost the match against England by eight wickets. England won the toss and decided to bowl first and put Australia under pressure from very first ball. English bowlers got the wicket in inning’s second over when Chris Woakes in his first over trapped Warner in the hands of Buttler behind the wicket on 7/1. Australia all out on 125 in 20 overs and their top scorer were Captain Aaron Finch (44 on 49 balls) who faced English attack till 19th over, other prominent batsmen were Ashton Agar 20, Matthew Wade 18, Pat Cummins 12, and Mitchel Starc 13.
England chased the target 126 without any issue with the Run rate almost 11 runs per over in 11.4 over on the cost of 2 wickets with hammering inning of Jose Buttler of 72 runs ( faced 32 balls 5 sixes and 5 fours ).
England is now on the top on points table with 6 points by getting 3 win in 3 matches, South Africa is second with 4 point with 2 wins in 3 matches because of batter net run rate (0.210) over Australia who has same points 4 with 2 win in 3 matches with net run rate (-0.627).
