Ponting dismisses World Cup ghosts ahead of India-Australia Champions Trophy semi-final
Ponting noted how the win highlighted India’s strengths. “They had to find a way to keep themselves in the game and then turn the game back in their favour, momentum-wise through the middle of that game.
“Having lost those early wickets, you know, Shreyas (Iyer) did a great job again along with Axar Patel and this Indian team, they bat very deep.
“So even when they do find themselves in trouble, they have got high quality players through the middle and experience at the back end of their batting innings as well.
“And that wicket, that was probably one of the more difficult wickets I’ve seen in the tournament so far. It was definitely slower, definitely spun more.
