Who was yesterday’s India vs. Australia T20I Player of the Match?
Rinku and Jitesh played brilliant knocks for India. With the ball, Axar was outstanding with his three-fer, while Bishnoi kept things extremely tight.
For Australia, Sangha (2-30), Jason Behrendorff (2-32) and Dwarshuis (3-40) were among the wickets. Wade and Head contributed 30s in the chase.
Axar, though, was named the Player of the Match for his excellent spell of 3-16 from four overs.
Axar Patel stars with the ball
Chasing 175, Australia got off to a rapid start. Deepak Chahar was taken apart by Travis Head and went for 22 in the third over as the visitors raced to 40-0. Ravi Bishnoi (1-17) broke the partnership with his first delivery as Josh Philippe (8) was cleaned up attempting a premeditated sweep.
Axar Patel (3-16) then got the big wicket of Head (31 off 16) when the left-hander mistimed a slog sweep. The accurate left-arm spinner also knocked over Hardie (8) before cleaning up Ben McDermott (19) when the Australian batter attempted a big hit.
In Nutshell:
Australia bowled well to limit India to an achievable target, however the batters failed to handle India’s spin attack by Axar Patel and Bishnoi in the middle overs, and ultimately had too many runs to chase in the death. The young Indian side have defied all odds and emerged victorious in the bi-lateral series against World Cup winners, Australia.
