Bailey added that Finch's return to form in the T20I game against Pakistan hadn't come as a surprise. Finch's 55 in a winning cause in the T20 game -- his first half century in 17 innings for the country -- has eased the pressure on the 35-year-old ahead Australia's T20 World Cup title defence.Asked whether he was relieved at Finch getting a half century, Bailey said, "Not relieved -- always know it's coming with Finchy. He's said it himself that he'd have liked to have contributed more... he'd like to be scoring more runs."We have so much cricket from now until that T20 World Cup and the build-up to the one-day World Cup that he's got a great opportunity, and probably now a little bit of time to focus... on a couple of little technical things that he wants to work on, which is great," said Bailey.Finch went through a similar poor run of form in the lead up to the 2019 and 2021 World Cups but after getting the backing of the selectors, he returned to his best."I'm confident Finchy will come good and be firing in the lead up to and including the World Cup," added Bailey.
