Head Eyes Fastest Aussie 3000 ODI Runs in Adelaide Showdown
Adelaide, Australia – November 22, 2023 – Australian opener Travis Head has the opportunity to etch his name in the record books during the second ODI against India at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday. Head, who managed only 8 runs in the first match in Perth, is on the verge of becoming the fastest Australian to reach 3000 runs in One Day International cricket.
Head currently has 2950 runs in 74 ODI innings, averaging an impressive 44.02. A score of 50 runs in the Adelaide match would see him surpass Steve Smith’s record of reaching the milestone in 79 innings. Only 24 Australians have reached this landmark in ODI history.
Head has had some success against India, scoring 392 runs in 11 ODI innings, including a stellar 137 in the 2023 World Cup Final.
Australia currently leads the three-match series 1-0. India will be desperate for a win to keep the series alive, while the home side will be looking to secure the trophy on their home soil.
Australia Squad for India ODIs: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Matthew Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Owen, Josh Philippe, Matthew Renshaw, Matthew Short, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis.
