Former Australian captain and opener Aaron Finch believes that he will put his money on Steve Smith even though the Kangaroos will also need to get rid of star India batter Virat Kohli as early as possible in what promises to be an enticing World Test Championship (WTC) final, starting June 7 at the Oval.

"Both (Kohli and Smith) will be batting at number four, so the key is to try and get them as early as possible. Early wickets to expose them to the brand new ball will be absolutely key. I will always side with Steve Smith, I think his record is outstanding, but it will be a very good contest," Finch told Star Sports.
