    Ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, the Indian cricket team is scheduled to play 2 warm-up matches against Australia and New Zealand on October 17, and October 19 in The Gabba, Brisbane.

    In the first warmup match against Australia India posted 186 runs for 7 wickets loss. Opening batter KL Rahul posted an impressive 57 runs off 33 deliveries and made the expected opening.

    In the middle Suryakumar Yadav posted impressive 50 runs off 33 deliveries and leads India to post 186 runs for 7 wickets loss at the end of the innings.

    After the innings came to an end, while talking to the official host broadcaster, Richardson reserved high praise for the Indian batter, calling him one of the best T20 batters going around in the world.

    “I think it was the first time he (Suryakumar Yadav) missed the middle of the bat against us. He’s one of the best batters in the world at the moment, so it was good taking him on,” said Richardson.

    Richardson took four wickets for Australia in the warm-up game, and he said that he does not expect to start in playing XI, but he will be ready if he is called into the XI at the end moment.

    “I’m not expecting to start, but if anything happens with form or injury, I could be in, just happy to be out in the middle today,” said Richardson.

    “The atmosphere is really nice, we’ll go out there and enjoy our stint in the middle, the sun is out and it’s a good batting pitch. Disappointed to play in front of an empty stadium, we usually have it filled for games against India,” he added.

    On considering the match, India won the match by 6 runs where Shami bagged 4 wickets in the final over of the match and gave only 3 runs. Notably, Shami hasn’t played a T20I since last year’s World Cup.

    India will play their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 against Pakistan on October 23 in Melbourne.
