Australia Optimistic Ahead of Super Eight in T20 World Cup

Australia's Glenn Maxwell is confident of his return to batting form after an impactful knock against Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup, boosting the team's morale for their upcoming clash against Afghanistan. Meanwhile, captain Mitchell Marsh has declared his readiness to bowl following a recovery from a hamstring strain, although his participation as a bowler may not be immediately necessary given Australia's ample bowling options. Marsh emphasized the importance of having versatile options in the squad, especially in the Super Eight phase. Both Marsh and Maxwell have had a challenging period with the bat, but Maxwell believes their performance in recent games has set a strong foundation for future matches. Australia, resting key bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in their last match, relied on spin from Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar, and Maxwell, indicating a strategic approach depending on match conditions. The team aims to maintain their winning momentum as they advance further in the tournament.
