| 2.1 : 2.1: Josh Hazlewood to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! That is being crunched through the off side. Full and outside off, Shikhar leans in and drives it through the covers for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Glenn Maxwell to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! That is a good shot. On the pads, Dhawan sweeps it well to the deep backward square leg boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Josh Hazlewood to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Glorious. Superb shot from Gill. Full and on off, Shubman Gill flicks it wide of mid on and the ball races away to the boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Sean Abbott to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CAUGHT! That is a dolly. The first wicket for Sean today. Shikhar will curse himself for that. Abbot rolls the fingers on it, a slower one, around off. Dhawan looks to drive it over cover but he does not read the slower one well. Ends up chipping it straight into the hands of Agar at cover who takes it easily. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: Josh Hazlewood to Shubman Gill, SIX! In the air... but will clear the fine leg fielder comfortably. Shortish ball on the body, Gill looks to pull but ends up getting a top edge. It goes high in the air.... and well over fine leg for a maximum. |
| 7.3: Sean Abbott to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Runs. Virat gets it past the diving mid on fielder there. Full on off and middle, Kohli drives it striaght past the bowler. It is to the left of mid on who dives but fails to stop it. Marnus from mid off gives chase, dives and looks to stop but the ball ends up touching the ropes there. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Cameron Green to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Ah... good shot. Good shot. Short ball, Kohli swivels a little and pulls it to the deep square leg fence. |
| 8.6 : 8.6: Cameron Green to Virat Kohli, FOUR! And that's another one. Full and on off, Virat Kohli flicks it wide of the man at mid on for another boundary. 8 runs off Green's first over. Expensive start to him. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Cameron Green to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Now that is a shot. Full and on the stumps, Shubman drives it past the bowler and wide of mid on for a boundary. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Cameron Green to Shubman Gill, FOUR! The Indian crowd is elated all right. Short ball, Shubman stands tall and pulls it wide of mid on for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Ashton Agar to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Who is complaining about that! Short and wide outside off, Kohli cuts it over the man at point for a boundary. |
| 15.4: Ashton Agar to Shubman Gill, OUT! LBW! He has to sit out now, Gill. And watch the game from the pavilion. Tossed up on the stumps, Shubman gets down to sweep. But he misses to get hit on the pads. Ashton Agar appeals for a LBW and the umpire concurs. Gill though has a chat with his skipper and takes it upstairs. Replays roll in. No bat and umpire's call means he will have to walk back. Out of the blue he plays that shot and got himself out there. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Adam Zampa to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! He is a good player of spin. Short and wide outside off, Iyer goes back and guides it through the vacant backward point region for a boundary. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Cameron Green to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! 100 comes up for India. Kohli always encourages his younger plays to go for the attacking shot. Short ball, SI rocks back and pulls it wide of the man at fine leg for a boundary. That one traveled quickly. |
| 22.4: Adam Zampa to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! CAUGHT! The budding stand is broken! A dismissal Iyer will be gutted about. He is a terrific player of spin and hates getting out to the spinners. Zampa once again amongst the wickets. He has been a terrific bowler for his side and has got them crucial breakthroughs at critical junctures. Flatter delivery around off, Shreyas goes hard at it in an attempt to increase the run rate and move along. He looks to go over point but goes too hard and does not get th |
| 25.3 : 25.3: Ashton Agar to KL Rahul, OUT! LBW! The review does not save Rahul and he departs as well. Second wicket for Agar and India tumbling now. Big blow for India and jubilation for the Aussies. Floated on middle and leg. This one turns away ever so slighly after pitching. Rahul looks to play the sweep but misses it and gets hit on the pad. A huge, confident appeal follows and the umpire is happy to raise his finger. Rahul has a quick word with his skipper and decides to signal the 'T'. Ultra |
| 28.2 : 28.2: Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Supreme from Kohli! The boundary drought is broken with a brilliant shot. Short and turning away. Kohli slams his cut through point and gets a boundary. |
| 31.6 : 31.6: Josh Hazlewood to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Hazlewood gets Virat Kohli for the 4th time in a row. This is a peach of a delivery. Hazlewood was convinced and gets his man. This was full and around off, King Kohli comes down the track a little and closes the face of his bat to glance it. But to the naked eye, he seems to have missed it. Alex Carey takes it and appeals, along with Josh. In fact, it was not a convincing appeal but Aaron decided to take a review. Nothing on Hot Spot but Snicko s |
| 34.5 : 34.5: Ashton Agar to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Not quite convincing from Pandya but enough to beat the keeper and race away for a boundary. Shorter and on the pads, Hardik Pandya camps back and looks to pull but gets an underedge. It goes safely past the keeper and beats the fielders to the fine leg boundary. |
| 38.6 : 38.6: Sean Abbott to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Good shot by Pandya. First boundary in 4 overs. Short ball, Hardik Pandya swivels and pulls at it. Deep mid-wicket rushes in to his left and dives but the ball goes through him to the boundary. |
| 39.2 : 39.2: Glenn Maxwell to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! That one goes for a boundary. On the pads, Hardik looked to hammer it on the leg side but he gets a bottom edge. The outfield though is quick and it races away to the deep backward square leg fence. |
| 41.2: Sean Abbott to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Thumps it straight down the ground, Pandya. Wanted to pull initially but then adjusts and strokes it on the off side. Shortish and outside off, Hardik Pandya moves a touch to the off side and strokes it firmly past the diving mid off fielder for a boundary. |
| 43.6 : 43.6: Moises Henriques to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Well, he has found the gap. Two fielders in the off side but nobody could do anything. Outside off, Ravindra Jadeja maneuvres it expertly between short third man and backward point for a boundary. |
| 44.6: Josh Hazlewood to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! India are 226/5. Hardik Pandya finally gets the boundary for the Men in Blue. Full and outside off, Kung Fu Pandya stays deep in his crease and strokes it firmly. Deep cover runs to his right but had no chance in stopping that. |
| 45.4 : 45.4: Sean Abbott to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Lucky. Really lucky. Good length ball from Sean, the legcutter, around off. Pandya looked to close the face of his bat to glance it on the leg side. But he gets a leading edge which goes over backward point and short third man and races away for a boundary. |
| 45.6 : 45.6: Sean Abbott to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! This is a good over for India. 17 runs off it. On the pads, again because he had moved to the leg side, otherwise it would have been down the leg side. Pandya closes the face of his bat to wrist it to the fine leg fence. |
| 45.5 : 45.5: Sean Abbott to Hardik Pandya, SIX! Amazing how he gets the power. Gets it over the infield on the off side. Full and wide outside off, Pandya moves to the leg side and slams it over deep point for a biggie. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: Josh Hazlewood to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! 100-run partnership between these two. What a one it has been for India. This one has been hammered to the shorter part of the boundary. Jadeja understanding his game better now. Full and around off, Ravindra clears his front foot and launches it over wide long on for six. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: Josh Hazlewood to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! It has gone with the wind. Would you believe that? Wow. Full and around off, Jadeja looked to loft it over covers but he ends up getting a top edge. To the naked eye it seemed like he would hole out in the deep but the ball ends up sailing over the deep backward point fence. |
| 47.2 : 47.2: Sean Abbott to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! There you go. This is real good anticipation from Jadeja. He moves well to the off side, Abbott bowls a full toss, Jadeja gets down and sweeps it through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 47.3 : 47.3: Sean Abbott to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! That is another boundary. Nicely controlled shot. Short ball, Jadeja pulls it. Manages to pull it well and gets it into the deep square leg fence. |
| 47.4 : 47.4: Sean Abbott to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! He has got to his 50 now. The sword celebration is out. Brilliant batting. It has not just been about the skill but the way he has paced his innings. This one is outside off, Ravindra Jadeja manages to get it wide and over backward point and short third man for a boundary. |
| 47.5 : 47.5: Sean Abbott to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! What a shot this is. Sean Abbott getting a taste of how international cricket is, in his first game. Short ball, RJ moves a bit to the off side, waits and picks up the ball and slams it over the deep square leg boundary. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: Sean Abbott to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Amazing. Just amazing. Full and around off, Ravindra comes on the front foot and drives it well. Pierces cover and mid off and the ball races away to the boundary. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Shardul Thakur to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! All are going up in appeal. Big, big moment in the game. Steven Smith goes for just 7. Full and on the pads, Steven looked to tickle it down to fine leg but he has not got it as well as he would have liked. The ball takes a faint edge and goes to the left of KL. The Indian keeper moves there, takes it and appeals. Thakur follows him in the appeal too and they get their man. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: T Natarajan to Aaron Finch, SIX! Welcome to international cricket, Natarajan. Short ball, Finch swivels and picks it up way early. Pulls and pulls it well over deep square leg for a maximum. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! Into the gap. Length ball around off, Labuschagne stands tall and punches it between cover-point and point for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: T Natarajan to Aaron Finch, FOUR! SHOT! Short ball, AF swivels just a little and pulls it wide of mid on for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Aaron Finch, SIX! Finch goes hard... is it big enough? All the way. Full and around off, Finch looks to drive it aerially over covers but gets a genuine outside edge. It ends up carrying all the way over deep cover. Would you believe that? Wow! |
| 5.1 : 5.1: T Natarajan to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! BOWLED! The first international wicket for T Natarjan. Great moment for him. His teammates gather around him and cheer him up. On a length and around off, Marnus looked to hammer it on the off side but he ends up getting an inside edge. He looks back but the stumps are shattered by then. |
| 6.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Aaron Finch, FOUR! The Indian crowd is not much happy with that. Full and outside off, Finch creams it through the covers for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: T Natarajan to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Too wide, too full, punished by Finch. He shimmies down the track a little and drives it wide of the man at cover for a boundary. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Shardul Thakur to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Just a thick edge. Full and outside off, Finch walks down the track and looks to drive. But he gets a thick outside edge which flies over backward point for a boundary. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Aaron Finch, FOUR! The line down the leg side is not helping India. On the pads, Finch sweeps it to the fine leg boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Aaron Finch, SIX! To the shorter part of the ground. Finch gets to his 50 as well. Floated on middle and leg, Aaron Finch gets down and nails the sweep over deep square leg. |
| 20.3 : 20.3: Shardul Thakur to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Interesting shot. All the way, he was in complete control. Back of a length ball around off, Moises swings it away wide of mid on and the ball simply races away for a boundary. |
| 20.5 : 20.5: Shardul Thakur to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Short ball, Finch is always powerful on those lengths. He pulls it to deep mid-wicket. Iyer runs in to his left, dives and takes the pace off the ball but it still manages to trickle into the boundary. Shreyas Iyer is not happy there. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Aaron Finch, FOUR! There is no fielder down there. Fuller length ball around off, Finch comes on the front foot and lofts it over mid on, who was in the ring. A boundary results. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: Shardul Thakur to Moises Henriques, OUT! TAKEN! It is a big wicket though. Shardul gets the wicket. Moises Henriques goes for 22. Shardul is pumped. Full and around off, MH looked to slam it on the leg side but he does not time it that well. It goes sharply to Dhawan at short mid-wicket. He takes it with ease. He won't make any mistakes. |
| 25.3 : 25.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Surely, this is a big moment for India. The game now swings into their favour. A good catch from Shikhar Dhawan in the deep. Full and on middle, the Australian skipper skips down the track and looks to launch it over long on. However, he gets the elevation but not the distance. It goes to Shikhar at long on. He fumbles a little but manages to hold onto it. A good catch. |
| 25.5 : 25.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Cameron Green, SIX! Right, Green says he has had enough. Tossed up around off, Cameron gets down and nails the sweep well over wide long on. Hang on, there's a no ball as well, for overstepping. Free Hit coming up. |
| 28.3 : 28.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Alex Carey, FOUR! Placed in the gap! Tossed up on off, Carey sweeps it over mid-wicket. He does not time it well but places it in the gap and gets a boundary. |
| 29.3: T Natarajan to Alex Carey, IN THE AIR AND DROPPED AND FOUR! Brilliant effort from Kohli but it will go down as a drop. Natarajan was close to having his second. Length delivery which is on off. The ball sticks onto the surface. Carey drives it uppishly over mid off. Kohli there jumps and gets his hand to it but he cannot hold onto it. The ball then goes to the fence. |
| 30.2 : 30.2: Kuldeep Yadav to Cameron Green, FOUR! Very good shot! Short on off, Green makes room and goes away from the stumps. He then punches the ball through cover-point for a boundary. |
| 30.5 : 30.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Cameron Green, OUT! Caught! Superb catch from Jadeja. He is a gun fielder and that is no secret. Kuldeep gets his first of the game. Floated delivery on middle and off. Cameron Green gets on his knee and lunges forward to sweep it. He hits it uppishly to the left of deep square leg. Jadeja runs to his left and dives to take a stunning catch. India well on top of this game. Australia need 145 in 115. |
| 33.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Alex Carey, FOUR! Shot! Carey moves to the leg side and Jadeja follows him with a fuller ball. Alex Carey lofts it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 34.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Alex Carey, FOUR! That is well played from Carey. 2 men in the deep, he beats them both. Short ball, Alex Carey swivels and pulls it well wide of the rushing fine leg fielder for a boundary. |
| 35.3 : 35.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Maxwell winds up for the first time. Tossed up on off, Glenn Maxwell gets down and sends it a long way over wide long on. That was a good shot. |
| 35.4 : 35.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! Aah... Maxwell! 2 in a row. Short ball, he goes back and gives it all he has got. Pulls it with great force and sends it way over deep mid-wicket. Much farther than the previous one. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Glenn Maxwell cashing in on Jadeja. Full and on off, Glenn gives himself room, lofts it over covers and gets a boundary. |
| 37.4 : 37.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Alex Carey, OUT! RUN OUT! It is a big wicket for India. In a crucial stage. India are elated. Flatter ball around off, Carey taps it to the leg side. Kohli fumbles a touch at short mid-wicket and Australia look for a single. But he recovers quickly and Carey tries to get back to the striker's end. Virat Kohli flings a throw to the keeper's end. KL collects and whips the bails off. It is taken upstairs by the umpire and just one replay is enough to confirm that Alex is sh |
| 39.4: T Natarajan to Ashton Agar, FOUR! Perfect yorker there. Unfortunate for Natarajan though. It was on middle and leg, Alex Carey gets his bat down in time. Gets an inside edge which goes well wide of the stumps and wide of KL Rahul and into the fine leg boundary. |
| 39.6 : 39.6: T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! That is a field that you see a lot. All inside the circle. Outside off, Glenn Maxwell guides it wide of the man at point and the ball races away for a boundary. |
| 42.3 : 42.3: Kuldeep Yadav to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! There again, that sound! Where's this going? Into the crowd! Tossed up on middle, Maxwell goes for the switch hit and gets it miles over deep point. |
| 43.1 : 43.1: T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, SIX! That has been hit hard. Is it long enough? Yes. Brings up his 50 as well. What a series he is having. He flashes a thumbs up to his teammates as well. Full and angled into middle and leg, Glenn slogs it mightily over deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 43.2 : 43.2: T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! That has gone for a boundary. Huge gap between cover and mid off. Full and outside off, Maxwell drives it between that gap and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: T Natarajan to Ashton Agar, FOUR! Ashton is a very handy batsman as well. Everybody knows how good he is with the bat. Outside off, Agar punches it wide of the backward point fielder and the ball races away for a boundary. |
| 44.3 : 44.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TIMBER! That is exactly why Jasprit Bumrah was brought in to bowl. Huge moment for India. Can this be the turning point for the Men in Blue? A yorker on off and middle, the Big Show gives himself room on the off side and looks to jam this one out but he misses. But not the ball. It crashes into the woodwork behind. The hosts still need 35 runs in 33 balls. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: Shardul Thakur to Sean Abbott, OUT! CAUGHT! A big wicket this. A huge over for India. Sean Abbott goes. Short ball, SA swivels and pulls at it but gets a top edge. It goes behind the stumps and KL takes it with ease. The hosts need 25 runs in 18 balls. |
| 47.1 : 47.1: T Natarajan to Ashton Agar, OUT! TAKEN! 2-in-2 for India. What a great comeback it has been from them. The one guy who could have seen Australia home is walking back. Full and around off, Ashton goes for the aerial cover drive. But he ends up hitting it to Kuldeep Yadav at cover who had to jump a little to take the catch. Indian team on a hat-trick now. Superb. |
| 49.3 : 49.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Adam Zampa, OUT! LBW! Bumrah gets this right. Bruce Oxenford, the on-field umpire gets it right. Full on off and middle, Zampa closes the face of his bat to wrist it to square leg but he misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal from Jasprit Bumrah and the on-field umpire concurs. Adam Zampa though takes a review. But THREE REDS on the Ball Tracker means INDIA WIN BY 13 RUNS! BUT AUSTRALIA WIN THE 3-MATCH ODI SERIES 2-1. |
