Tim Southee predicts leading run getters at the Champions Trophy
Former New Zealand cricketer Tim Southee has predicted Kane Williamson and Australian batting star Travis Head to be the leading run scorers at the upcoming Champions Trophy. Overlooking legends like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in his prediction for leading scorer, Southee felt that Williamson and Travis Head will emerge as top run getters.
Champions Trophy, which is scheduled to be played from 19 February, will be hosted by Pakistan along with UAE. India will be playing their matches in UAE. A total of eight teams will be vying for the prestigious title.
“Leading run scorer, I think the wickets will be pretty good in Pakistan. I’d like to say Kane Williamson will be up there. I just think his ability to adapt to different conditions we’ve seen, his experience in different conditions, and his success in different conditions, and he’s a guy that’s got a phenomenal one-day record, so if New Zealand are to go deep into the competition, then he’s going to have to score a lot of runs as well,” Speaking in a video shared by ICC on Instagram.
Highlighting Travis Head’s quality, Southee stressed that Head has been a standout performer in ODIs.
“And maybe Travis Head from Australia as well. I think he’s a dangerous player. He’s been a standout in the One Day World Cup in the last edition. I think he’ll like the wickets in Pakistan and Australia historically have been very strong in world events, so I’m sure they’ll be there near the end as well," Southee said.
