Finch during a pre-match virtual press conference said:
“Yeah, I was never worried one bit about Dave’s (David Warner) form. He’s one of the all-time great batsmen of our era. I think you can look at it as though he had a really lean IPL and then the start of this tournament, but the two halves of the IPL were a long way apart, so if you miss out a couple of times at the end of the first part, which was in India, and then the first couple of games in Dubai, it looks as though a run of form is a pattern there,”
“I certainly wasn’t worried. He’s all class; David’s trained hard; he’s mentally fresh; he’s ready to go. It’s great to see the best of him fit and firing. As we all know, it’s a great sight when he’s up and about and scoring runs for Australia,” he added.
Warner’s batsmanship for SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 was poor, and he was even dropped from the playing XI. However, the left-handed batter has performed admirably in the ongoing competition, and he was at his best during the game against the West Indies when he led his team to victory.
Finch said of the game against Pakistan:
Oh, I don’t think it makes too much difference, to be honest. In a tournament with the format thing, straight to semifinals and a final, you know that you’re on the tightrope from day one, and that first game against South Africa could have gone either way. We got over the line there is a really close one. We’ve played some really good cricket towards the back end after that England game.”
“I don’t think it makes too much difference, to be honest. Pakistan has been excellent, particularly like at the start of this tournament, to build their bank, so to speak. Yeah, not too much,” he added.
