NZ vs AUS : Aaron Finch hits switch-hit six
The Australia team captain Aaron Finch returned to form with 69 off 44 balls in the NZ vs AUS 3rd T20I. After getting unsold in the IPL, he reacted by saying that this was not something unexpected. He’d prefer to be playing Cricket but doesn’t mind staying at home as well. In the first two T20Is, he was not able to contribute enough to the team. But his confidence must be sky high after such a good knock in the 3rd T20I. He brought up his half-century by a switch-hit off Ish Sodhi which is getting viral on the internet.
