HIGHLIGHTSAustralia got a taste of the dew factor in their warm-up match against New ZealandFinch had no doubt it would be a headache for the teams Australia will need David Warner to rediscover his form to make the powerplay count

Australia captain Aaron Finch backed his opening partner David Warner to come good in the first match of the T20 World Cup after the latter carried his poor form in the Indian Premier League into Australia’s warm-up match against New Zealand.

“I’m backing Davey’s ability, I’m backing his judgement. If you look at these World Cup history, it’s bloody good,” Finch said.

“Would he have liked more runs? Absolutely, everyone would like more runs all the time. He’s one of the greatest players Australia has ever produced and I’ve got no doubts that come game one, he’ll be up and firing, ready to go.”

Australia will need Warner to win the powerplay overs, which Finch said will be crucial regardless of how much drew comes into play.

“Even though it’s different surfaces to what the IPL used, we saw the impact that had,” Finch said about the impact drew was having on matches.

“The teams that won the powerplay went a long way to winning the game as the wickets deteriorated.”

Australia got a taste of the dew factor in their warm-up match against New Zealand and Finch had no doubt it would be a headache for the teams.

“As the conditions cool down slightly in the coming month or so, it will probably become heavier and heavier. Then the toss does become really important,” he said.

“The way out is making the first six overs count. Regardless of how dewy it does get, if you can control that part of the game, it goes a huge distance in winning the match.”
