We're going streaking! Australia is awesome at cricket again.
Finch missed out on becoming the first Australian to post three consecutive ODI tons but his 90 set the platform for a total of 6-266.
It’s the first time Australia have won six consecutive ODIs since a nine-match winning streak in 2015, which included their World Cup final triumph. The result comes after a landmark series win in India and is further confirmation of Australia’s remarkable resurgence as a leading World Cup contender.
Finch’s team slipped to 2-20 and 4-140 after winning the toss but refused to collapse in the fashion that was a hallmark ofrecent barren years. The skipper typified his side’s fight in a 136-ball innings, while Maxwell lifted the run-rate in anentertaining 55-ball knock on a pitch that offered bowlers far more assistance than Sharjah.Finch, whose captaincy was being questioned a month ago because of his form slump, has now scored 479 runs at 95.
