The ongoing T20 World Cup has witnessed toss playing a huge factor in deciding the winners, especially in Dubai. Rather in all Super 12 matches played in Dubai, only once in 12 games a team batting first has won with dew playing a huge role later. Both semi-finals (2nd SF was in Dubai) also saw the team batting second winning despite the teams losing the toss coming up with a brilliant performance with the bat.

However, they had to deal with dew and ended up losing the game. But Australia skipper Aaron Finch is not worried much about the toss and feels it won’t decide the eventual result of the final against New Zealand on Sunday (November 14). According to him, a team should be able to win a game in all conditions in a tournament like World Cup.

As per the quotes in Sydney Morning Herald, Aaron Finch said, “Absolutely it can be overcome. At some point, to win this tournament you’re going to have to bat first. I was actually hoping to lose the toss against Pakistan because I would have loved to put up a score on the board in that semi-final. It was one of those ones where you’re probably never going to bat first but you don’t mind if you have to. It’s the same going into the final.”

Interestingly, in the last 17 night T20 games in Dubai, 16 matches have ended in the favor of team batting second and the only time a team won batting first was in the IPL 2021 final by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The MS Dhoni-led side posted a big total on the board and then defended the score to register a win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

Aaron Finch pointed out the same and stated that it isn’t impossible to win batting first in Dubai. He explained, “We saw it in the IPL final. Chennai were able to put a big score on the board and really squeeze there. It comes down to the day. If you can put a total on the board and make the opposition take risks early in the innings, then that’s what it’s all about.”
