Australia are the most successful team in the World Cup, having won the last of their five titles in 2015. The five-time champions will rely on their experience as they search for a sixth title against two-time winners India.
“You know there’s going to be big crowds, but no bigger than playing India at home in a World Cup game, so that’s going to be exciting. It will be a huge challenge, they’re a top-class team, but if you want to win a World Cup, you’re going to have to be better than everyone else, so why not take on India straight up,” Cummins told ICC.
“Winning a World Cup is huge. Luckily a few of us have won an ODI World Cup and a T20 World Cup, so there’s lot of confidence in the group and a lot of experience as well,” he added.
