Young Australian batter Tim David has been phenomenal throughout his T20 career. Playing for Australia and the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, he has been one of the best finishers. David will be the best bet for Australia to fill in the role of Mitchell Marsh. He can change the momentum along with Glenn Maxwell in slog overs while also providing some bowling.
Additionally, David is a very good fielder at the boundaries a department in Australia has to work in the ongoing tournament. One more thing that solidifies David’s case is his experience and record in Indian conditions. It might help Australia at the business end of the ongoing tournament.
