Paine Backs Australia To Retain WTC Title, Says 'They've Better Batting Line-up'
ICC World Test Championship: Former Australia Test captain Tim Paine believes a superior batting and overall depth will lead the Pat Cummins-led side to victory over South Africa in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final, set to happen in Lord’s from June 11-15.
Australia had won the 2023 WTC final after beating India at The Oval, thanks to dominant centuries from Steve Smith and Travis Head. The Cummins-led side will be primed to defend their title when they take on first-time finalists South Africa at the iconic Lord’s.
“I think both have a great pace attack, they’re extremely strong. There will be some good air speed and air ball on display particularly with the Dukes ball. The winning team will be the batting side that can handle the opposition's pace attack and with that, I think Australia has more depth and a better batting line up and I think they will get it done,” said Paine on SEN Radio.
