At the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, the third game of India and Australia’s three-match ODI series is presently underway. The Indian team easily won the first two games, and they are currently up 2-0 in the series. Australian opener David Warner has been in excellent batting form throughout the series. He made 56 runs off 34 balls in the third game, including six fours and four sixes, before being bowled out by Prasidh Krishna.
David Warner has now scored three fifty-plus runs in a row in this tournament after scoring 52 and 53 runs in the first two games.
Warner had previously played well against South Africa in a series. However, Australia lost the series since South Africa won the final three ODIs with ease to win the matchup. Nevertheless, David Warner outstanding performance building up to the eagerly anticipated 2023 ODI World Cup is a huge boost for the Australian team, especially in light of Travis Head’s injury absence.
The much awaited World Cup will kick off on October 5 with a game between England and New Zealand, the winners of the previous tournament. On October 8, the Australian team will play their first World Cup match against India.
The Australian Cricket Board recently introduced new uniforms for the men’s and women’s teams for the upcoming 2023–24 season, which is another recent development. The Australian team’s performance in the World Cup and in upcoming competitions will be closely watched by fans wearing their new uniforms.
The majority of the players appeared satisfied with how the new Australia jerseys’ general design turned out, particularly in light of the fact that the coveted ODI World Cup 2023 is approaching quickly. In a similar spirit, Mitchell Starc, an Australian fast bowler, claimed that the indigenous people’s artwork served as the inspiration for the shirts.
“I believe it’s fantastic that the kit features Native art. The fact that it is now displayed on the uniform for all three forms after years of advocacy on our part is amazing,” Mitchell Starc was quoted as saying by Cricket.com.au.
