Smith banking on Finch, Warner to lay platform against upbeat WI

Australia Captain Steve Smith speaking during yesterday’s pre match press conference held at the Providence Stadium, Guyana.

Australia Captain Steve Smith said he will be banking on his openers to set the tone come today when they take on the West Indies in the second match of the 2016 Day/Night Tri-Nation 50 overs series to be played at the Providence National Stadium, Guyana.

Smith, during the pre-match press conference yesterday, said he was happy to watch Friday’s match between the hosts West Indies and South Africa, where the Caribbean side pulled off a thrilling four-wicket win with 11 balls to spare after Sunil Narine’s career-best 6 for 27 and Kieron Pollard’s unbeaten 67.
