Cummins Confirms Smith To Bat At Number Four In WTC Final Against South Africa
World Test Championship Final: Australia Test captain Pat Cummins has confirmed premier batter Steve Smith will bat at number four in the upcoming World Test Championship final against South Africa, set to happen at Lord’s from June 11-15.
Smith, who has 23 centuries and 26 fifties while batting at number four in Tests, had slammed a first-innings century which set the stage for Australia to clinch the 2023 World Test Championship Final win over India at The Oval in London.
There were initial murmurs of Smith being asked to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja, but Cummins has now shut it down. “I can confirm that Smudge will be batting at four. Everyone else, I’m not willing to, but I can confirm Steve Smith will be number four,” said Cummins to The Grade Cricketer on Prime Video Australia.
