I believe the Aussies need to improve their batting: Michael Bevan ahead of India vs Australia 2023 World Cup final
Former Australian batter and legendary finisher Michael Bevan recently opined that the Aussies have to improve in the batting department ahead of the World Cup final against India.
He also felt that India would start as favorites, but Australia has what it takes to win the trophy. Speaking to ANI, Bevan said:
"Reaching the World Cup final is a tremendous achievement something that doesn't happen very often. We have two teams playing in the final who are at their top form."
He added:
"The Australians have a lot of talents and have players who can make a difference at any point in a game. I believe the Aussies need to improve their batting.
