Runs Will Come Soon: Short Hopeful Of Form Revival Against India
ODI World Cup: After a bad start against India in the series opener, Australia top-order batter Matthew Short is hopeful of scoring runs in the remaining matches of the three-game series.
Short sees the current series as a key opportunity to cement a top-order spot ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup, amid stiff competition. The rain-affected match in Perth marked his 16th ODI since debuting in 2023. Initially used in lower-order roles, he later moved up to open, scoring a career-best 63 against England in the Champions Trophy. However, injuries have disrupted his momentum - a quad strain ended his Champions Trophy campaign early, followed by a side injury that sidelined him from multiple series. Now fit, Short is eager to make the most of his chances and find consistency.
"It's been frustrating…I still feel like I'm moving well. I'm feeling good out in the middle," Short told reporters in Adelaide after scoring just 8 in Perth.
