Australia won the third and final T20 by 12 races at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday. The Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell fifties lost 5 wickets in 20 overs and the hosts scored 16 runs. After Kohli’s big fifties, the visitors stopped at 6 wickets for 164 races. India won the three-game series 2-1.
This is India’s first defeat in the last 12 twenties. First of 11 away games.
In the opening, Wade made 60 of 53 balls and Maxwell 54 of 36 balls. Chasing runs, India’s captain Kohli played 75 innings with 61 balls.
Mitchell Swapson was instrumental in Australia’s victory. Took 3 wickets with 23 runs in 4 overs. He won the best game award for his great game of bowling.
Australia didn’t get off to a good start after losing the toss and opting to hit. Returning to the team, they lost Aaron Finch in the second. The host captain was caught in the hands of medium Hardik Pandya in an attempt to blow up Washington Sundar.
Wade, however, did not drop the pressure of the lost grounds. Like the previous game, today was deadly. His partnership with Steven Smith, which was reduced to three, was 65 runs. Most of the runs were scored by this goalie-hitter.
Smith, who started out cautiously, was pitched by Sundar for 23 of 23 balls. Got life once in that. Lokesh Rahul missed the opportunity to make an easy strikeout.
The Maxwell and Wade couple formed the basis of Australia’s largest collection. They made 90 of 53 balls in the third wicket. The couple broke up when Wade was out with Shardul Tagore.
Wade, who made fifty in the last game, played a 60-run inning with 6 fours and two sixes in this game. Maxwell 31 says this is his eighth fiftieth in this edition. T Natrajan stopped this devastating hitter who threw 54 runs in three sixes and four.
However, Maxwell, who was out in the last of the innings, got life twice, survived once more for the ‘no’.
Chasing the race, India also pressed early. Rahul was ejected for zero on the second ball of the inning. Maxwell was caught by Smith in midfield in an attempt to hit a six.
Shikhar Dhawan and Kohli led the team with great hitting. Dhawan, who made 26 of 21 balls, was eliminated 74 by spinner Swapson. Later he quickly returned to Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer.
Pandya, the hero of the last match, could not play much role in this match. Adam Jampa stopped him before the storm.
Despite losing wicket after wicket at the other end, India’s wheel is still on the move with Kohli’s bat. The batter, who put his life in the hands of Smith at the 9-run limit, collected the 25th fifty of his career with 41 balls. However, Australia had the opportunity to take him out two more times.
Kohli, who was finally fired in 19, scored 75 runs in 4 fours and 3 sixes. After his departure, the lower-order Indian batsmen could no longer cope.
