Australia captain Aaron Finch has given a hint of right-arm pacer Josh Hazlewood might get a chance in the second ODI to manage the workload of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. Australia thrashed India by 10 wickets in the first ODI in Mumbai where Starc and Cummins picked up five wickets between them with their superb bowling. On the other hand, David Warner and Aaron Finch’s unbeaten centuries and a 258-run stand took the side to the finish line with ease.

“To be able to control such a damaging top order with their lengths is brilliant. The ball just swung enough to keep them in the game all the time. They were so accurate which you have to be in these conditions,” he said.

“The bowling line-up will obviously be discussed with Josh (Hazlewood) on the sidelines. With back-to-back games and pretty quick and a reasonably heavy Test load, I’m sure Josh will come in for one of them (Cummins or Starc) at some point. (But) Unless it’s a forced change with a niggle or injury, I don’t think it would be much,” he was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au after the win in Mumbai.

Aaron Finch also praised Warner who smashed 128 off 112 balls to continue his formidable form with the bat.

“He (Warner) is playing unbelievably well I think. It”s so hard to bowl to him once he gets in. He hits the ball all around the ground, so stopping him from scoring is so hard. He is so clear with how he is going to bat, his footwork is pretty good. His mental state is unbelievable when he is out in the middle. He is so clear with his thoughts and his game. He is in top shape,” he added.

Finch further said that he expects India to bounce back in the second game.

“That was a pretty good performance. I think our fielding was a little bit sloppy but all in all we ar really happy with how the boys went.” They (India) will fight back no doubt. They are a great side, got some world-class players,” Finch concluded.
