‘Pretty ugly’: World Cup plagued by low scores as Aussie batters prepare for ‘hard slog’
Battles for batters will continue on slow T20 World Cup wickets as Australian seeks fourth-straight title Winning a fourth-straight World Cup might have to be done in “pretty ugly” fashion, according to Australian batting star Beth Mooney , as slow wickets keep producing low scores with all matches played across just two venues in the United Arab Emirates .
For their third game against Pakistan on the weekend, the defending champions will move to Dubai, where New Zealand’s score of 160 against India remains an outlier in a tournament where the average score is just 101 runs. “Sometimes that’s going to look pretty ugly and sometimes it’s going to be OK, but I think if we just find a way to make it work, that will hold us in good stead.”The Australians managed 13 fours and a lone six from Ellyse Perry against New Zealand, nearly double the match average for boundaries.
