Australia batting coach Justin Langer feels getting off to a good start in T20 format is crucial if team has to win the match.
Talking about the Australian team, Langer said openers David Warner and Shane Watson are crucial for Australia’s chances in the T20 World Cup.
Australia defeated West Indies courtesy some big hits by their top-order batsmen. While Warner was out for 28, Watson was unbeaten on 41 off 24 balls with two fours and three sixes, while Hussey was undefeated on 28 from 19 balls with three boundaries and a six.
Watson bagged his second Man-of-the-Match award for his all-round show as he also got the prize scalp of Gayle (54 off 33 balls), who along with Samuels (50 off 32), set the tone for West Indies' mammoth total.
To achieve such a huge target, the Aussies needed a good start, and Warner provided the counter-attack.
