“You always dream of playing World Cups, and the SCG is one of the most famous grounds in the world. And then add in you’re playing against arguably one of the best teams in the world, yes, it’s pretty surreal. “Not many people expect us to win, so not too much pressure on us,” said Edwards.
“Our brand of cricket means perform to best of our ability. Just bring our A game. If it’s enough it’s enough. If it’s not it’s not. “What Virat (Kohli) did the other day was surreal. Hope he doesn’t repeat it against us,” he concluded.
