David Warner, Australia’s veteran left-handed opener, believes that scoring runs in the Caribbean during the T20 World Cup in June will be difficult due to slow pitch conditions and the ball turning more. The tournament will be jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA from June 1-29. Warner highlights the difference between the high run-scoring rates in the IPL 2024 and the slower-paced pitches in the Caribbean, where the average run rate in T20Is since 2021 has been 7.91. He emphasizes the need for batters to adjust their tempo and find ways to score big on slow wickets. Warner’s experience playing in the Caribbean, including the 2010 T20 World Cup, gives him valuable insights into the challenges that Australian batters will face.
