Australia’s captain Pat Cummins acknowledged that the viewers throughout Sunday’s ODI World Cup 2023 closing between India and Australia on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad could be biased. During the pre-game information convention, Cummins acknowledged that their objective is to silence the massive crowd as a result of, in sports activities, there’s nothing extra satisfying than that. The closing recreation might be noisier and extra attended than earlier video games, he continued.
“I think you’ve got to embrace it. The crowd’s obviously going to be very one-sided but it’s also in sport there’s nothing more satisfying than hearing a big crowd go silent and that’s the aim for us tomorrow. Yeah, you’ve just got to embrace every part of it, every part of a final even you know in the lead-up there’s going to be noise and more people and interest and you just can’t get overwhelmed. You got to be up for it, you got to love it and just know whatever happens it’s fine but you just want to finish the day with no regrets,” Cummins stated.

“I think with experience, and fortunately some of that experience is playing in World Cups where we’ve been dominant. We’ve won before. I think one of the pleasing things is I still don’t feel like we’ve played the complete game. Maybe against the Netherlands, but outside of that, we probably haven’t. There have been no huge wins. We’ve had to fight for every win, but we’ve found a way to win. And different players have stood up at different times. So, I think taking that confidence, knowing that we don’t have to be at our absolute best to challenge any team we can find a way through it. Yeah, I’m sure we’ll draw a lot of confidence, all the boys draw a lot of confidence from that going into tomorrow,” he added.
