The power-packed batting comprising Head, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Matt Short, and Josh Inglis have allowed Australia to adopt a ruthless approach, posting big runs and batting the opposition out of the game.

“When you’ve got the power that we’ve got behind us, we’ve got to get a move on,” Head told cricket.com.au. “You don’t want to be chewing up balls up at the start when you’ve got (Tim) David, (Marcus) Stoinis, (Josh) Inglis, (Cameron) Green and (Glenn) Maxwell behind you. It’s huge power,” Head added.

‘We Try To Get As Many As Possible’ – Head

Australia have tried to emulate the batting approach of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL, where the team focuses on putting the opposition under pressure from the word go, eliminating the role of an anchor. Even amid the falling wickets, the focus is to keep the scoring rate high. Head said the kind of batting Australia have, they can score anything if the batters click.

“We can score anything if we can get going,” Head said. So, for Mitch (Marsh) and I (the plan is to) try and go out there and take advantage of it (Powerplay fielding restrictions). It’s been a strength of ours for a couple of years, that if you look at both one-day cricket and T20 cricket we’ve put a big emphasis on the Powerplay. We try not to be reckless, but at some stage it will look like that … but yeah, the plan is to try and get as many as possible,” he added.
