Australia made a “phenomenal” piece of history overnight as David Warner fired to completely obliterate India in Mumbai.
Warner and Finch both scored unbeaten centuries in Tuesday night’s flogging in the Mumbai series opener, as the tourists chased down the target of 256 with 12.2 overs to spare.
And it came with the next World Cup to be played on the sub-continent, where the Aussies have now won their last nine ODIs and have two more to play in this three-game series.“We’ve got a great bunch of guys here that, potentially with our senior players, can make that World Cup. The result also kept Australia’s unbeaten summer alive, after they cruised through six Twenty20s and five Tests at home.Source:AFP
Finch brought up his century off 107 balls, with 12 of his 13 boundaries coming through the off side while he also whacked spinner Kuldeep Yadav for a massive six back over his head.
