Travis looks for Headstart

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT

Having propelled Australia to a series-levelling victory in the second Twenty20, middle order Travis Head is upbeat ahead of the decider on Friday. “This series is still alive. Hopefully, either Moises or I can do it again and win it for Australia,” the southpaw said. Head got rid of a string of low scores by hitting 48 off 34 balls at Guwahati and stitched an unbeaten 109-run partnershi­p in the company of Moises Henriques, said he cherished the stand with his fellow middle order batsman. “It was nice to be in a winning partnershi­p. As batters you want to be out there in the middle and win games for your side,” he said. Speaking of his performanc­e on the tour, Head said he was disappoint­ed to miss out on various chances to win matches for his side in the ODI series. “The tour had been pretty disappoint­ing. I made some good starts but failed to execute my plans throughout,” the 23-year-old said.
