Finch regretted the fact that Australia lost the match from a comfortable position. Australia was sailing in pursuit, at one point, needing 36 to win the last 30 balls of the match. However, England staged a surprising comeback by stifling Australia’s middle and lower order, giving away just 33 of their final 31 balls.
“They [Smith and Maxwell] They were both playing on a game plan, so I think if you can separate execution and game plan, you can look a little deeper, ”said the Australia captain. “The T20 games are about making sure you make your choices and combining them with the right game plan so there is a lot to work on. I would probably be more critical of myself and Davey, who got us off to a good start and neither of us really started to make a contribution to winning the game. “
