The bowlers had a grand total to defend in this match, but they couldn’t salvage that either.
The kangaroo batsman rained heavily on the batting friendly wicket
The India team, batting first in the PCA Stadium batting friendly wicket in Mohali, made a strong total of 208 runs for 6 wickets. This score should have been convincing for the win. But the Kangaroos made their intentions clear from the first ball. Chasing a goal of 209 runs, he started the innings with a six. Australia scored 60 for a wicket in 6 overs after the power play. The first wicket went to spinner Axar Patel, who walked captain Aaron Finch. Although in this match, Akshar took a total of three wickets for only 17 runs, but all other bowlers split the team.
Australia had to score 55 runs to win in the last 4 overs, which they did with 4 balls to spare. Starter Cameron Green scored a career-high 61 runs for Australia, while Matthew Wade, who came to bat at number seven, had 45 no-outs off 21 balls.
The bowlers divided the team.
Now look at the condition of the Indian bowlers, India’s top bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave 52 runs in 4 overs with an economy of 13 and his wickets remained empty. From the power play to the deck overs, he was continually hit. On the other hand, Umesh Yadav conceded 27 runs in 2 overs but the good thing was that he took two wickets from Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell. Now look at the condition of Harsh Patel who returned to form, giving up 49 runs from 4 overs and failing to take a single wicket. Although Yuzvendra Chahal took the wicket from Tim David in the 20th, he gave up 42 runs in 3.2 overs.
Hardik’s matchless tackle was made by bowlers
After losing the toss, the news of the Australian bowlers was fiercely taken by the Indian batsmen who came to bat first. Although Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were unable to spend time at the crease in this match, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav scored fiercely in the top order. KL Rahul completed his 2000 runs at T20 Internationals while playing a 55-run half-century, while Surya scored 46 runs on 25 balls. In the Indian innings, the batsman who entertained everyone with his fiery innings was Hardik Pandya.
Batting at number five, Pandya posted an unbeaten 71 on 30 balls. Batting at a strike rate of 236.66, he hit 7 fours and 5 sixes. But unfortunately, the poor performance of the bowlers spoiled his matchless innings.
