Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWireDHARAMSALA, India - Travis Head's return to action proved worth the wait for Australia as the opener smashed a blazing hundred in his World Cup debut to set up a five-run victory in a high-scoring thriller against New Zealand on Saturday.
The impact of his return could be gauged from the fact that Australia plundered 118 in the best Powerplay of the tournament so far. Mitchell Marsh dropped down to number three to clear the opener's slot for the returning Head, who slotted back in at the top effortlessly. Head raced to a 25-ball fifty and got a couple of reprieves afterwards en route to a blistering hundred.
