Australia cruised to a six-wicket victory in the first of three one day internationals against England in Adelaide on Thursday, and it was David Warner and Travis Head who were able to lead the way with the bat.

A 147-run opening partnership from David Warner and Travis Head would get the home side off to a brilliant start as they moved on from the disappointment of a dismal T20 World Cup campaign.

David Warner fell to a good catch from Sam Billings in the outfield after scoring 86 runs from 84 balls, with Head making 69 runs from 57 balls. Both batters smashed eleven boundaries with one maximum each.

Both aggressive, both left-handed, Warner attributes this incredible early success of their opening partnership to their similarities at the crease.

“I think we both play quite similar, we take the game on,” Warner said post game.

“You see with Trav and myself, if it's full we'll still play through the line and we like to go aerial, that's the way we play.”

“And anything short we try to punch pull or go with it.”

“It's coming off at the moment, which is great, and hopefully we can keep continuing that success.”

This blossoming pair looks to continue performing at the top of the order to put Australia in a good position leading into next year's ODI World Cup in India.

Warner has confirmed that he aims to continue playing until that World Cup but is unsure about the longer-term future of his career.

“I'll be 41, and I don't know if I've got that long left in me,” Warner said regarding making the 2027 ODI World Cup.

“Who knows, I might have a second wind.”

“But that's my goal at the moment, to get to that World Cup (2023 ODI World Cup in India), play as well as I can, and we'll see from there.”
