The tricky and slow UAE wickets not supporting the power-hitters in the T20 World Cup, Australia batter Steve Smith is willing to change his batting order to suit the requirement of his side.

Almost all teams have struggled to go past the 150-run mark so far in the ongoing World Cup as the pitches are not conducive to stroke-making. Smith, who usually bats at number three, said he is aware of the different requirement and won’t mind if he needs to drop down a bit.

“(My role is) a little bit different to what I’ve played previously. My job is just to fix it if our top order don’t come off and build a partnership with whoever I’m in with at that stage,” Smith was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.

“If our top order do go well, the likelihood is that I’ll slide down the order and let our big strong boys attack it. That’s essentially my role. I think I’ve done it reasonably well in the first couple of trial games and our first game against South Africa.

“I know what I need to do, the rest of the team knows my role. That clarity is there, it’s just about us all going and doing it.”
