Mitchell Starc bowled brilliantly, taking five wickets and scoring a 66 not out as Australia beat India by 10 wickets to take the lead in the series 1-1. Starc’s fast bowling was a major factor in Australia’s victory, as he ripped through the Indian batting. Head and Marsh then took the game away from the Indians, both scoring well over 50. This means that Australia now have the opportunity to win the series with one final game.
Australia managed to hold on and win the chase after losing their opening game. Starc led the team’s lethal attack, taking the wicket of Shubman Gill for a duck after the tourists decided to bowl first after overnight rain. This proved to be a decisive moment in the game, as the tourists were then unable to recover and lost by a wide margin.
After Starc bowled consecutive balls to Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav followed suit, getting out first ball for a duck. This left India on the back foot, and they were unable to recover. KL Rahul hit a hat-trick ball, but he only lasted for 11 more deliveries before falling leg before wicket to Starc, who returned figures of 4-31 in his first spell of six overs.
On the bowling of Sean Abbott, Steve Smith took a stunning one-handed catch at first slip to dismiss Hardik Pandya. This dismissal saw Smith take three wickets in the match – all of which were taken while he was batting.
Smith went all out to his right to take a catch off an edge from Pandya, and the social media community was unanimous in their praise for his “superman” effort. Virat Kohli tried to hit back for India with a score of 31 that included four boundaries, but Nathan Ellis caught him in front.
India’s troubles continued as wickets kept falling and Ellis removed Ravindra Jadeja for 16 off the bowling of the Indian captain. This left India struggling in their chase of 245. Starc ended the innings with his ninth five-wicket haul in ODIs, while Axar Patel continued his unbeaten run with 29 after hitting two sixes.
Left-handed Head and Marsh came out firing, hitting Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami all over the ground. Head started the attack with two straight boundaries off Siraj and Marsh soon joined the charge, hitting four and six balls respectively.
Marsh reached 50 off 28 balls, hitting two consecutive sixes off Pandya. Listen to the latest songs on JioSaavn.com, only. This is a great way to keep up with the latest music, without having to search for it online.
