T20 World Cup 2021: David Warner is one of greates Australian players ever, says skipper Aaron Finch ahead of SA tie

One of the biggest concerns for Australian skipper Aaron Finch is the form of his batting partner David Warner. The Aussie southpaw was completely out of sorts when IPL 2021 resumed in UAE last month and was eventually dropped by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

Australia have plenty of headaches as they get ready to open their T20 World Cup 2021 campaign against South Africa at Abu Dhabi on Saturday (October 23). The Australia-South Africa clash will also signal the beginning of the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup with the qualifying stages coming to an end on Friday.

One of the biggest concerns for Australian skipper Aaron Finch is the form of his batting partner David Warner. The Aussie southpaw was completely out of sorts when IPL 2021 resumed in UAE last month and was eventually dropped by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The warm-up games haven’t gone well either for Warner as he fell cheaply against both New Zealand and India.

Finch, however, backed Warner to come good in the business end of the tournament. “I am backing Davey’s (David Warner) ability and judgement all the way. He is one of the great players Australia has ever produced,” Finch said in the virtual media interaction ahead of the T20 World Cup 2021 game against South Africa.
