Aaron Finch was answering the questions asked by the media in a regular drill at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 press conference. However, in the middle of the conference, the microphone was handed over to Zachary.

“Are you going to win a coin toss?” Zachary asked Finch, leaving a dozen reporters into laughter.

Aaron Finch is yet to win a toss at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 and hopes to change his luck in the game against Sri Lanka on Saturday. “I don’t know, I’d like to. I don’t think I won one in the warm-up games either,” Finch replied while laughing.

Finch praised the question asked by the 10-year-old and continued, “I had a good run at the start of the Pakistan series then lost a couple towards the end so it’s been a while since I won a toss. Good question.”
