Concussion replacement Chahal attacks, Aaron Finch leaves

12/04/2020 India


IND vs AUS 1st T20 Live Score: Aaron Finch’s Australia won the draw and asked Virat Kohli’s India team to hit first in the first T20 at Manuka Oval, Canberra. The match starts at 1:40 p.m.

16:23: Chahal to Finch, OUT; After 9 overs; 68/1

Oh sensational capture of Pandya! This will please Australia, no doubt. The concussion submarine has a window. And it’s a good ball. Thrown off the stump, full and submerged. Finch backs away looking to go beyond cover. He ends up cutting it because it is not in the field. Pandya then runs about 20 meters to his left from afar, gathers himself briefly, and then jumps up, stretching fully, to rip this off just as he threatens to sink into the grass. Put a nice slide to hold it too

16:16: After 7 overs, 54/0

It is the same story as in the ODI series. Australia is off to a good start chasing a low total.

16:08: This injury to Jadeja is sure to cause a lot of controversy. Here is the law regarding concussion suspensions:

15:52: Ravindra Jadeja has been taken out due to a concussion

“Ravindra Jadeja took a hit to the helmet in the final over of the first inning of the first T20I. Yuzvendra Chahal will take the field in the second inning as a substitute for concussion. Jadeja is currently being evaluated by the BCCI medical team, ”BCCI reported.

3:17 PM: India posts a total of 162.

15:10: Jadeja is clutching his hamstring. This is bad for India. It is stretching it.

15:04: Henriques to Pandya, OUT

High … very high, and taken long! Pandya is cut before he can really get going, and Smith had all the time to get him under the ball. Safe hands!

14:55: After 16 overs, 104/5

India will need a solid showing from Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja to have a competitive total.

2:51 PM: Henriques to Rahul, OUT; After 15 overs; 97/5

Brilliant long-term capture from Abbott. It is a big piece of land for Australia. One more wicket and it’s game over for India.

14:45: Gobble Pandey, OUT

Good catch on the third short man! Hazlewood is right to go to that. Pandey reverted to a slightly shorter ball, goes for the cut, takes the top edge, and dives when it reaches Hazlewood

14:37: After 12 overs, 89/3

India needs to support Rahul if they want to reach a total of defenders. A 180+ goal would be a defense total given Australia’s devastating batting lineup.

14:27: KL Rahul takes out his 50

Amazing hitting display from KL Rahul. He reaches his twelfth T20 fifty this time in just 26 balls.

14:20:

14:14: After 7 overs, 2 51

While India scored in this final, the momentum is certainly in the Australians’ camp, as Swepson lands Kohli.

2:12 PM: Swepson to Kohli, OUT

Balloons back to the bowler. The only thing that happens to Swepson with this ball is that it has caught.

14:10: After 6 overs, 42/1

12 runs from the top is exactly what India was looking for. One more good and the momentum will change on your side.

14:05: After 5 overs, 1/30

India will now want to build on the momentum it lost after losing Dhawan early. If they can do it, the projected score can be over 170

14:00: After 4 overs, 1/21

Kohli has become the first batsman to score 2,800 runs in T20 cricket. Meanwhile, Australia continues to put pressure on top Indian hitters.

13:56: Starc to Dhawan, OUT; After 3 overs, 1/13

Hit the stump with a trademark delivery! He is back. Starc is back. High 140, the outwinger starts in the middle and curves brutally towards the off. Dhawan has his front leg on the leg side and his stumps exposed while creating space for cover. The late swing and rhythm do it and it’s a pretty sight as the stumps are toned

13:50: After 2 overs, 6/0

Today there is swing and bounce in Canberra. Bumrah could be lost today. Much will depend on Deepak Chahar, who can swing the new ball.

1:49 PM: A look at Australia’s new jersey

13:42: After 1 more, 4/0

Good start for India. Dhawan and Rahul have become the masters of T20. They will take the first three overs to adjust and then their boom boom cricket.

13:39: And starts!! India vs Australia at Manuka Oval.

1:33 PM: Shikhar Dhawan on the cusp of breaking MS Dhoni’s record

All eyes will be on Shikhar Dhawan when India meets Australia for the first T20 at Manuka Oval, Canberra. The Indian starter is about to break MS Dhoni’s record when he takes the field today. READ THE FULL STORY

13:30: Bumrah, Chahal rested

It is quite a bold decision for India to let Bumrah rest, who had just found her lost touch. Also Sundar instead of Chahal is also a great move. Hope it works for India.

13:19: From XI

Australia (playing with XI): Aaron Finch (c), D’Arcy Short, Matthew Wade (week), Steve Smith, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Sean Abbott, Mitch Starc, Mitch Swepson, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

India (playing XI): Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul (w), Virat Kohli (c), Manish Pandey, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Shami, T Natarajan

13:14: Australia has won the draw and has chosen to line up

Kohli: Great opportunity to take a look at some guys. So far I have handled the bowlers workload well. We’ve been playing T20 cricket well, we just have to get on with that. Natarajan is making his debut today. It seemed composed in the third ODI. There was a reason I came to him.

Finch: Anyway, it’s been a great build-up. It was expected to be at this time. There are not many changes. Short opens the batting, Wade in three. Phenomenal design, grateful to be able to wear it (the indigenous kit).

13:09: After ODI, Natarajan is ready for his T20 debut

12:55: Sanjay Manjrekar and Murali Kartik predict their game XI

Manjrekar plays with XI: Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami

Kartik has the same XI playing, except, Shami. He opted for T. Natarajan instead of Shami.

12:47: Some fun facts:

India have won each of their last eight Q20Is, meanwhile the Australians have won 10 of their 13 games since 2019.
