| 37.3 : 37.3: Mohammed Shami to Steven Smith, FOUR! FIFTY FOR STEVEN SMITH! Another easy picking for Smith. It is on the pads, Smith just flicks it through backward square leg to get to his fifty. He did not start off well but has slowly found his groove in this innings and looks set now. |

| 39.6 : 39.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal to end a terrific innings from skipper, Aaron Finch! Stop the press as Bumrah's ODI wicket drought is finally over. Short ball, a well-directed one which lacks pace as well. Finch looks to gude it over the keeper's head but the lack of pace sees him just guide it high in the air. KL Rahul runs behind to his left and takes a simple catch. Perfect way for India to finish Powerplay 2! |
| 40.2 : 40.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, SIX! SMOKED! That was six the moment it left the bat! Tossed up around off, Smith slg sweeps it over mid-wicket. There is a fielder in the deep but he is just a mere spectator. |

| 42.6 : 42.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Glenn Maxwell, DROPPED AND SIX! Hardik Pandya is the guilty party. India have looked sloppy in the field today. We do not usually say that about this Indian side. Floated on off, Maxwell looks to clear sweeper cover. He does not time it well. Hardik comes ahead a bit too early. He then looks to correct the mistake and looks to go back. Too late as his outstretched hand can just parry the ball over the rope. |

Zampa can breath a sigh of relief as his mistake has not cost his side as much as it pootentially could have. Kohli looks to charge down the track and he comes forward. Hazlewood see shim charge so he bangs it short and also ensures to cramp the Indian skipper for room. Kohli looks to pull but the lack of room sees him hit it uppishly. Aaron Finch, the skipper, has to be credited as well as he plac |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Josh Hazlewood to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT! Shreyas Iyer departs and India from a string position are fumbling and tumbling. Excellent from Hazlewwod. He bangs in a brilliant yorker at pace. Everything about this is spot on. The pace, the rise and the direction. Shreyas initially looks to play but then looks to leave. Caught in two minds is the Mumbai lad. He decides to leave but keeps his bat hanging out. The ball hits his bat and goes high in the air. Carey with the gloves calls for |

| 24.1 : 24.1: Mitchell Starc to Shikhar Dhawan, IN THE AIR AND FOUR! FIFTY FOR SHIKHAR DHAWAN! A lifeline for Dhawan. One has to say the fielding has been substandarad today. Short ball on the body. Dhawan pulls it and it goes to the right of fine leg. It seems to be a simple catch. Cummins, who is a gun fielder, moves to his right but loses the ball in the light and the ball bounces in front of him and goes away to the fence. |
| 28.4 : 28.4: Mitchell Starc to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Second boundary in the over! A bumper. Pandya does not get on top of the bounce but hits it well enough to find the gap in the mid-wicket region. |

| 34.3 : 34.3: Adam Zampa to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! TAKEN! There is the wicket Australia needed and it is Zampa who has provided it. Dhawan played really well but he needed to hang in there. He looks to take on Zampa. Comes down the track but gets a little too close to the pitch of the ball. Tries to hit it over the fielder at mid off but does not get the desired elevation and holes out to Starc there. 146 needed in 93. |
| 33.3: Pat Cummins to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! NIcely played! On the pads, Dhawan flicks it behind square on the leg side and it races away to the fence. Dhawan is batting really sensibly here. |
| 37.2 : 37.2: Pat Cummins to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! SMASHED! Shorter and on middle, Pandya stands tall and flat-bats it past the diving mid on fielder. India need more of these. |
| 38.5 : 38.5: Adam Zampa to Hardik Pandya, OUT! TAKEN! That is probably the final nail in the coffin. Heartbreak for Pandya. He deserved a ton. Very selfless from him though. He could have easily just taken those 10 runs in singles but he went for the big hit as that was the need of the hour but it does not come off. It is fuller and on off. Pandya hits it hard but holes out at long on. Starc takes it. |

| 45.4 : 45.4: Adam Zampa to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT! Zampa has another one! Jadeja looks to do what he did on the first ball. Steps out and looks to clear long on. He gets a little too close to the pitch of the delivery and hits it hard towards long on. Starc takes it nicely. |
| 46.3 : 46.3: Glenn Maxwell to Mohammed Shami, SIX! Powered! Shami gets down and smashes it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: Glenn Maxwell to Mohammed Shami. FOUR! Shami once again uses his feet and hits it hard through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: Glenn Maxwell to Navdeep Saini, FOUR! EDGY! Outside off, Saini swings, it goes off the outide edge down to third man. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: Mitchell Starc to Mohammed Shami, OUT! BOWLED! Starc gets his first of the game.Yorker on off, too good for Shami. The bal goes past his bat before he can get it down. Disturbs the off pole. |
