That they got this score with their big-hitters in Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Abhishek Sharma facing a grand total of 11 balls spoke of under-utilised resources. ESPNcricinfo's Smart Stats showed the contrast in Cummins' performances between the last match and this one. He had a clean, uncomplicated approach to batting ideally suited for T20s - in its essence, it was a form of the street-cricket term "hit out or get out".

As captain Finch walks out to open the batting, the man alongside him is not Marcus Harris, as it has been for the first two matches of their season. Instead, it is their overseas mystery spinner, Sunil Narine. Does that mean his days as an opener are numbered because teams have "found him out"?

Since 2019, Warner has averaged 24 against right-arm pace bowlers going around the wicket, as against 60.44 when they go over the wicket.

He was first reported in the 2014 Champions Trophy and had to miss the finals against the Chennai Super Kings. Narina grabbed two for 19 in four overs as Amazon Warriors scored 144 for five in 17 overs as he opened the game for his team. He made his first-class debut in February 2009.

Or they could bring in Kane Williamson and then bank on the top four to get most of the runs, though that will cut down one bowling option. Against Mumbai, his Smart Economy Rate was also astounding at 23.32. And against full deliveries, his strike rate is 202.6. West Indian spinner Sunil Narine had never opened in his career before.
