VISAKHAPATNAM: Mitchell Starc, who arrange Australia’s thumping 10-wicket victory in opposition to India with a five-wicket haul on the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Stadium on Sunday, stated that the method has been to get wickets in the powerplay and that it labored out neatly for them right here. “It is not a new game plan as such, I have always tried to take wickets in the powerplay, and we were able to take six wickets in the powerplay today. Taking wickets in the powerplay is the way forward in one-day cricket as we can control the game from thereon. This is what we did today, and things fell in place,” Starc stated after the tournament.
Was it a bonus for him to bowl to right-handed batters? “It doesn’t work that way and not for me especially. I just like to bowl fast and keep the ball up and let it swing so it doesn’t matter if the batter is a right-hander or a left-hander,” he stated.
