Tim David praises batting-friendly pitches ahead of T20 World Cup as Australia ties series 1-1 with India.

Australian batter Tim David hopes for batting-friendly pitches like those at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval during the upcoming T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, following his 74 off 38 balls in a match against India. Despite Australia’s 186/6, India chased the target in 18.3 overs to level the series 1-1. David emphasized the importance of having all-rounder Glenn Maxwell fully fit for the World Cup, noting his return to the squad is positive, though he remains sidelined due to fitness concerns. India’s chase was powered by strong performances from Washington Sundar (49*), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma. The series now heads into two remaining matches.
