Australia suffered four consecutive defeats for the first time in ODI World Cup history. They have lost their last two ODI World Cups in 2019 and have had their worst start to the 2023 season in history, with Australian captain Pat Cummins saying his team had lost the last two ODI World Cups in the tournament. admitted that he was deeply hurt by the defeat.
Aaron Finch said in Espncricinfo that the Australian team was calm on the field and did not make any aggressive moves in the match, adding that the team had a difficult time in international cricket after losing the 2019 ODI series to South Africa. He admitted that he went through a period.
“The body language of the Australians on the pitch is pretty flat at the moment. Even when they have the ball, they’re a little bit separated, waiting for something to happen, but it’s a group It can also be transmitted internally.”
“The last thing you want is a bad start to the tournament because there’s no way to get back into the tournament. “It was a tough start…We had two games to break even, one win, one loss, that’s fine. .It’s going to be a little bit of a soft home run after that, especially if India takes the lead,” said Aaron Finch.
Australia continued their poor start to the tournament with their worst ever ODI World Cup loss to the Proteas in Lucknow. Pat Cummins’ team lost the match as they were soundly defeated by South Africa in all his three divisions of the match.
