The Australian skipper further said that he is really excited to play against New Zealand in the summit clash and even called it a ‘great team’.
“I think both teams have got a great history in cricket-well, not just cricket, but as neighbours, so to speak, Down Under. It’s a great relationship. We play quite a bit against New Zealand now and we always have great battles regardless of the format,” said Finch.
“It’s bloody exciting to be playing against New Zealand. They are a great team and led super by Kane Williamson. So it’s just one of those things that both teams seem to have found their way into each other’s path along the way in some tournaments. So, yeah, it’s really exciting,” he added.
