Australia captain Pat Cummins hoped that his batters would fire on all cylinders against Pakistan here on Friday.

Apart from Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh none of the other Australian batsmen have been able to make a fifty in the tournament so far.

“You know, especially at a venue like here in Bangalore, I dare say it’s going to be high scoring, smaller field. The pitch is always really good here. So, yeah, batting is super important. I think the way the guys started last game (against Sri Lanka) really set the tone,” said Cummins during his pre-match media interaction here on Thursday.

The 30-year-old said dew has played a big factor in a team’s decision to bat or bowl after winning the toss in this tournament. “Yeah, it’s a factor. I think I’ve said it previously in T20s — dew might play a part for 50 per cent of the match... So, you got to balance whether, say, bowling second, it might be tough at the back end. But also, you’ve got lights on, ball might zip around a bit more at night before that. So, it’s a balancing act. I don’t think there’s a right or wrong,” said Cummins.
