Today’s T-20 World Cup Hottest News 2022!

Once promising a clash of favorites, the Super 12 showdown between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday now appears more of a desperate battle for survival for two humbled teams.

Australia, thrashed by New Zealand in their opener, have looked a shadow of the side that triumphed in the United Arab Emirates last year, with captain Aaron Finch’s batting struggles topping concerns.

Finch’s tortured 31 not out from 42 balls in Tuesday’s win over Sri Lanka was widely mocked on social media as one of the most awkward knocks in World Cup history and did little to ease pressure on the seasoned skipper.

With Steve Smith unused thus far, former captain Allan Border called on selectors to drop Finch for the England match, a must-win for both teams.

“It doesn’t mean ‘Finchy’ doesn’t come back in. But what is our best side for England? I just reckon Smith has to be in there somewhere,” Border told News Corp media.

Finch bristled when asked to address Border’s comments, saying his slow knock was an anomaly and he was still 100% confident in his game.

“I don’t feel any more pressure than I ever have, the only pressure is the expectation you put on yourself,” he told reporters on Thursday.

Australia has other concerns, with test captain and fast bowler Pat Cummins under rare scrutiny after a poor start to the tournament.

Matthew Wade, the only specialist wicketkeeper in the squad, has tested positive for COVID-19, the team confirmed on Thursday, but could still play.

Spinner Adam Zampa missed the Sri Lanka game after also testing positive but is fit to return.

Whether England has the means to exploit Australia’s vulnerable position is no certainty following their morale-sapping defeat to Ireland at the MCG on Wednesday.

Barring a fiery 3-34 from express paceman Mark Wood and solid death bowling, Jos Buttler’s side was mostly poor in the field and their batsmen were culpable for a slow run-rate before rain and the Duckworth-Lewis method sealed their fate.

England coach Matthew Mott said the players know exactly what is at stake.

“We’re playing against the host, the defending champions, so there’s no need for us as a coaching group to motivate the group,” said the Australian.

“They’ll play well and come out firing.”

England thrashed Australia in the Super 12’s in the UAE last year, leaving many to write off Finch’s team – and then eat their words when they stormed to the title.

Both sides have ample quality to rebound but only one will emerge with the tournament intact if the forecasted rain abates long enough for a contest.
