As a junior, Finch played at Colac West Cricket Club in the Colac & District Cricket Association (CDCA) as a wicket-keeper. A right-handed batsman, he played in the 2006 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in Sri Lanka. [6]

Finch got his opportunity to become established as a regular in the Victorian side in the 2009/10 season. He hit his maiden first-class cricket century against Tasmania at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in a partnership of 212 runs for the third wicket with David Hussey. In October 2012, while filling in as captain, he scored 154 runs at the Gabba against Queensland, a new highest score for Victoria in domestic one day cricket.

After playing for the Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural Big Bash League season in 2011, he captained the side in 2012 and was the Big Bash League player of the year. [4] Finch captained the Melbourne Renegades from 2012 through to 2020, before stepping down citing he wanted to spend more time with his family. He then returned to captaincy for the back half of the 2022/23 season, after an injury to captain Nic Maddinson. In December 2015, Finch became the first player to score 1,000 runs in the Big Bash. [7] [8] Finch became only the second player to score over 3,000 runs in the Big Bash on 1 January 2023. [9]

Finch made his international debut for Australia in a T20I against England in January 2011. Two years later he made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Sri Lanka. In August 2013, Finch set a new record for the highest individual score in a Twenty20 international, scoring 156 runs from 63 balls against England at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. [24] Finch's innings included 14 sixes (also a record) and 11 fours. [4] He was the first player to score 150 runs in a T20I innings. [25] He was awarded the Men's T20I Player of the Year at the Allan Border Medal ceremony by Cricket Australia in 2014. [26]

Finch was selected as part of Australia's 2015 Cricket World Cup squad. In Australia's first group match against England he top scored with 135 runs, helping Australia to a 111 run win. Despite being the top rated T20I batsman, he was dropped for the first two matches of Australia's campaign in the 2016 ICC World T20 before being reinstated for the last two matches of the campaign.

In late 2015 an unusual warmup tour game at Blacktown International Sportspark, in the 2015-16 New Zealand tour of Australia enabled Finch to score his highest first class cricket innings. As part of a team composed of players who had been not selected for their respective state Sheffield Shield matches that week he smashed 288 not out and was part of record breaking 503 opening wicket stand with Ryan Carters, who piled on 209 runs of his own. The pair batted through the entire first day, torturing the New Zealand attack in a match they would have much preferred to be batting in. On the second day the badly deteriorating surface caused the New Zealanders to play spin only due to the threat of potential injury to pace bowlers, and the pair continued through the morning until Carters was dismissed by Tom Latham, wicket-keeper batsman earning the only wicket he took in his career in high level cricket. The locals declared immediately, the New Zealand refused to bat due to the playing surface being worn down to bare dirt and the game was abandoned. The 503 run partnership set a new record as the highest partnership in Australian first-class cricket history and one that still stands as of 2024.

In January 2017, Finch was named as stand-in captain for the first ODI against New Zealand in Australia's tour of New Zealand after Matthew Wade withdrew from the side with an injury. [27] Before the second ODI of that series Wade was ruled out of series due to a back injury and Finch continued to captain in the remaining matches. [28]

In April 2018, he was awarded a national contract by Cricket Australia for the 2018–19 season [29] [30] and in July scored 172 against Zimbabwe, a new record T20I individual score. [31] He hit 10 sixes in the innings during a world record T20I opening stand of 223 runs with D'Arcy Short which ended in the final over of the innings. [32] The partnership was the second highest for any wicket in a T20I. [33] [34]

In September 2018, he was named in Australia's Test match squad for their series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates, [35] [36] making his Test debut on 7 October. [37] He had his baggy green cap presented to him by Allan Border before going on to score 62 and 49 runs in his two innings in the match.

In April 2019, Finch was named the captain of Australia's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. [38] [39] On 16 July 2020, Finch was named in a 26-man preliminary squad of players to begin training ahead of a possible tour to England following the COVID-19 pandemic. [40] [41] On 14 August 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that the fixtures would be taking place, with Finch included in the touring party. [42] [43]

In November 2020, Finch was nominated for the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Decade award. [44] [45]

On 5 March 2021, Finch became the leading run-getter for Australia in T20I format going past David Warner against New Zealand. [46] In August 2021, Finch was named as the captain of Australia's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. [47] Finch would then captain Australia to win their maiden T20 World Cup, defeating New Zealand in the final by eight wickets.

On 10 September 2022, Finch announced his retirement from ODI cricket ahead of the third ODI against New Zealand, but still planned to play in T20Is. He continued to captain Australia's Twenty20 side and led it in its failed defence of the T20 World Cup in October and November 2022 in Australia. [48] On 7 February 2023, Finch announced his retirement from international cricket. [49] [50]
