Australia's explosive opening batsman Travis Head ahead of their first T20 World Cup 2024 match against Oman said that he knows "bits and pieces" about them.
Head stated that he knows little about Oman's team as they have played against major Test teams and are making their World Cup debut.

"Not really. I think you're going to play everyone at some stage. I guess we know who we're playing in this group stage. We hope to play well against everyone. So yeah, we plan exactly the same, prepare the exactly same way for every team. And not only on-field consistency but off-field consistency on how we go through our plans and what we want to try and achieve. So guys will do that differently. Each guy has different ways of going about things pre-game. So do them well and then make sure we perform well," Head said in a pre-match press conference.

The 2021 T20 World Cup champions will be raring to take the field as they look to begin the tournament on a winning note.
Head said that he and Warner complimented each other really well. Head also recalled his record-shattering partnership with another left-hander Abhishek Sharma in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
"Yeah. I think so. See the difference is both left-handers - but I think we complement each other well, a little bit like Abhi and myself did. So, yeah, I think looking back in the times Dave and I batted, he's exceptional against spin in the power play. More so, Abhi's strengths were against spin and then that was, so that wasn't hard to go by, like how we come off each other. And I think Dave and I we had some really strong partnerships together, faced a lot of different plans, teams will come differently, Oman will come different to England and England will come back, come different to Namibia," he added.
Travis Head had a great run in the IPL 2024. He finished as the second-highest run-scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad as he scored 567 runs.
During the ODI World Cup 2023, the Warner-Head opening duo milked 175 runs and helped Australia to put in the highest-ever World Cup total of 388 runs against New Zealand.
The Australian star showed confidence by partnering with Warner to face the opposition in the T20 World Cup 2024 matches.
"So like, from Davey and I's perspective, going through who they potentially may have and then who we set up better at and who we feel like we've got a plan on and then we adjust from there - is how it's normally worked. I haven't had many conversations with him about that sort of stuff yet, but it becomes pretty natural for our partnership and our relationship. So yeah, we'll pick our targets that we both feel like we're a chance against and then we'll go from there," he added.
