Rajkot: Australia captain Aaron Finch has no doubts that India will “fight back” in the second ODI here Friday after being battered in the series-opener in Mumbai.
Australia gave the hosts a reality check with a crushing 10-wicket win in the lung-opener on Tuesday, riding on David Warner and Finch’s unbeaten hundreds. But Finch said it would be silly to take India lightly as they boast of world-class players.
“They (India) will fight back no doubt. They are a great side, got some world-class players,” Finch said talking about what to expect from Friday’s match. Asked about his opening partner’s batting display, the Australia skipper said: “He (Warner) is playing unbelievably well I think. It’s so hard to bowl to him once he gets in. He hits the ball all around the ground, so stopping him from scoring is so hard. He is so clear with how he is going to bat,” he said. (PTI)
