ODI World Cup 2023: Ranking best openers in the tournament
In the ICC World Cup 2023, all sides will expect their openers to be exceptional with their bats coming heavily on bowlers.
3. David Warner
David Warner will appear for the last time in the World Cups and he will strive to make his last edition of the World Cup incredible with his vast experience and skills. The Australia legend has won a lot of games for his team with his opening batting in his 15-year ODI career. In the last few years, he has gone through a lot of ups and downs due to his plummeting performance.
Ahead of the World Cup 2023, the southpaw regained his form with the bat. During the South Africa tour, he exuded confidence from his bat, piling up 206 runs in five matches at a strike rate of 121.17. In the second ODI at Mangaung Oval, the 36-year-old chipped in with a century in his team’s massive 123-run win.
Warner continued his brilliant work in a three-match one-day competition in India. Against the Men in Blue, the veteran smashed 161 runs with three fifties in three contests. Warner’s international experience and familiarity with Indian conditions might play a vital part in Australia’s campaign in the 2023 World Cup.
