The Sydney Cricket Ground is under a cloud cover. It has been raining for more than an hour and the pitch is under wraps. Australia were fortunate to get a hit at the nets before the rain Gods decided to show up. They were in full flow with their batsmen and bowlers gearing up for the much awaited semi-final clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday. For opening batsman Aaron Finch, playing a World Cup semi-final was huge. “It is obviously the biggest game that I have ever played,” Finch said here at the SCG. “It is huge; you can't put it any other way and it is going to be exciting. It is a big opportunity to show our skills as a team. We have played some great cricket over the last two years and there is no reason we are not going to go into this game confident. I think we have got every right to be.” Though confident, Finch was all praise for their opponents who are on a dream run this World Cup having won all their games thus far. “India have played beautifully throughout this World Cup and are undefeated so far. They have grown in confidence all through. But when you look at our team, we match up quite well and they match up well against us too. In terms of psychological stuff, they have been playing well and so have we. It is going to be a great game.” Talking about India’s remarkable turnaround Finch said, “I suppose they have just spent a lot more time in the country. When you're looking to be aggressive with the new ball, having been here for four and a half months has probably adapted their lengths a little bit.” Elaborating on India’s bowling, Finch said, “They have got skilful bowlers. Mohammad Shami is bowling well. He is swinging the ball, which is a huge factor. They have probably played a lot more cricket here and got used to the conditions, the length you bowl and stuff like that. There's no rocket science; they are batting and bowling well. India are going to be tough to beat.” Though Finch stressed on India’s bowling prowess, he believed his side had the capabilities to counter India’s bowling firepower. “With our side we are confident that we can negate them. They have got some quality spinners but at the same time, wickets are generally pretty true here. Whatever happens I suppose if we stick to our game plans and play well it goes a long way towards winning the game. It's about being aggressive without being over the top.” The opening batsman also felt taking early wickets against a strong Indian batting line-up would be crucial to the team’s success. “In the last few games, they have had one top order batsman batting deep in the innings. Rohit sharma batted deep in the last game and that makes a huge difference because you have never got two new batsmen at the crease. That is the important thing for all teams, not just India. Our job is to take early wickets and put as much pressure on them as we can.”
