The veteran Australian pacer, Pat Cummins feels all-rounders like Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis are allowing Australia to be flexible with their balance in the squad. Maxwell bowled one over in the powerplay during Australia’s 7-wicket win against Sri Lanka while Stoinis bowled three, including one of the last four overs.

Ahead of Australia’s game against England, Pat Cummins said, “I think the flexibility that structure gives us is just huge. Maxi bowling one in the first six (overs) means Starcy can have an extra over through the middle. We saw he took a couple of wickets in the middle overs, that’s because we were able to have someone like Maxi ball early. Stoinis still hasn’t bowled a lot but we know how much of an impact he can be with the ball, let alone have the option to now have that extra batter.”

He further added, “I think we’re really well suited. We were covering a lot of areas with that fifth bowler. We’ve got Maxwell, Stoinis, Marsh (Mitchell) all who can contribute those four overs.”

Australia is yet to win their maiden trophy in T20 World Cup while England is bidding to become the first team to win both the 50-overs and the 20-overs World Cup at the same time.

Describing the same, Pat Cummins said, “I think the style of play is quite similar. We like to take the game on. They’ve been probably just about the form team in the last few years in white-ball cricket. (A) huge game. We know these guys really well. We know it’s such a big game in the context of making the semi-finals, and yeah, always enjoy coming up against England.”
