T20 World Cup

I said to myself actually it’s going to be one of those tournaments – David Warner on his poor show in T20 World Cup 2022

Australian opener David Warner had a great run in the 2021 T20 World Cup as he amassed 289 runs in seven matches at an average of 48.17 and a strike rate of 146.70 and thus played a key role in the success of the team. However, Warner could not replicate the same performance in the recently concluded edition of the World Cup.

Warner could only score 44 runs in four matches at an average of 11 and a strike rate of 107.31. The left-hander admitted that it was a forgettable tournament for him.

As Warner could not deliver the goods at the top of the order, Australia could not qualify for the semi-final stages. The hosts lost their opening game against New Zealand by a huge margin of 89 runs and their NRR suffered a huge blow because of that big loss.

As quoted by The Age, Warner said: “I know I’m seeing the ball well, I’m in great positions, and it was just one of those things. After that first game (against New Zealand) how I was dismissed, I said to myself actually it’s going to be one of those tournaments. I don’t know why but that’s the game of cricket, it can to go either way. You get some lucky, you don’t get some luck. We did our best. And then obviously with this series we’ve got two games to go.”

It was a disappointing tournament for Australia as they could not qualify for the knockout stages.

Meanwhile, David Warner returned back to form in the first ODI against arch-rivals England at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. Warner top-scored for the home team as he scored 86 runs off 84 balls to help his team chase down the target of 288 runs and win by six wickets.

Travis Head and Steve Smith also played a key role in the run-chase as they scored 69 and 80 runs respectively. Earlier in the match, Dawid Malan scored a fine knock of 134 runs and played a key role in helping England post 287 runs on the board. Malan was awarded the Player of the Match.

The second ODI will be played at the SCG on Saturday.
