Every Time Australia Puts A Team On The Park, They're Very Competitive: Ponting
ICC Champions Trophy: Former captain Ricky Ponting believes that injury-ravaged Australia’s high-scoring affair with England has set them up to make a deep run at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 even in the absence of their ‘big three’ of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood.
Australia fought back from early setbacks to close the highest-ever total in ICC Champions Trophy history to seal a five-wicket win in their campaign opener. While the Aussies' production in the field against England did little to dispel earlier concerns, conceding 351-8, chasing down the mega total with 15 balls to spare.
Australia's chase marked the highest-ever by any team at an ICC white-ball tournament, surpassing the previous record set by Pakistan at the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup against Sri Lanka when the former chased down 345.
