Brilliant all-round performance by Australia
Talking about the match, Australia chose to field first and managed to dismiss India for 240 runs in 50 overs. Despite the challenging batting conditions, captain Rohit Sharma (47 runs in 31 balls, including four boundaries and three sixes), Virat Kohli (54 runs in 63 balls, with four boundaries), and KL Rahul (66 runs in 107 balls, featuring one four) played crucial innings. Mitchell Starc was the standout bowler for Australia, claiming 3 wickets for 55 runs. Skipper Pat Cummins (2/34) and Josh Hazlewood (2/60) also bowled impressively, while Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell each secured a wicket.
In the second innings, India made a strong start and had Australia struggling at 47/3. However, impressive performances from Travis Head (137 runs in 120 balls, with 15 fours and four sixes) and Marnus Labuschagne (58 runs in 110 balls, with four boundaries) thwarted India’s efforts, leading Australia to a convincing six-wicket victory. Mohammed Shami claimed one wicket, and Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets for India.
Here’s how fans reacted:
