Sridharan Sriram, Bangladesh’s technical consultant currently, who also had a long stint in the coaching set-up of the Australia men’s team, hinted that they were working towards being smarter in shot selection across different grounds.
“Some grounds are diagonally big, some grounds have big side boundaries, some have straight but long boundaries, straight. I think playing around with the dimensions and knowing the batters’ strengths, hitting pockets and hitting boundaries are important, and I think Jamie [Siddons] has spoken to the boys about that,” he said.
As they move to a different venue again, how quickly they adapt to these challenges could also dictate how far Zimbabwe's remarkable turnaround and journey can go in World Cup 2022.
When: October 30 at 13:00 Local Time
Where: The Gabba, Brisbane
What to expect: This will be the first match of World Cup 2022 at the iconic Gabba barring the practice games that took place ahead of the tournament. The conditions are expected to be sunny and hot. In an afternoon game, that could play a big factor if the spinners are to come into play on a traditionally pace-friendly pitch.
