Intrepid Cummins delves into the Ahmedabad playbook

Placid conditions that confounded Pat Cummins and his fellow bowlers on day one may now prove to be a godsend for Australia's last-day pursuit at Newlands.

The challenging surface initially offered little assistance to the pace attack during the opening stages of the fixture in Cape Town.

However, as the match progresses into its final stages, the team is drawing upon tactical insights from past encounters to navigate the target.

Cummins and the leadership group have leaned into the Ahmedabad playbook to formulate breakout bowling and tactical run-chase plans.

The visiting side remains focused on executing their strategy precisely as they prepare for a crucial final day of action.
