India vs Australia 2nd T20 full scorecard
India’s inability to bat on a pace-friendly wicket was once again on display at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the second T20I against Australia as they lost half the team for just 49 to start the innings. However, with the help of fighting innings from Abhishek Sharma and Harshit Rana, they managed to post a respectable total of 125 on the board. But it was not enough to win the match as, with the help of fiery innings from Travis Head and skipper Mitchell Marsh, the hosts chased down the total in just 13.2 overs with four wickets in hand to go 1-0 up in the series.
Earlier, Australia won the toss and opted to field first. India almost suffered an early setback as Gill was given LBW first ball off Josh Hazlewood, but he survived with a review. However, his luck ran out in the third over when Gill tried to pounce on a length ball from Hazlewood over mid-off but handed a easy catch to Marsh and departed for just 5.
India sent Sanju Samson at number 3 but the experiment failed as he lost his wicket to Nathan Ellis after adding just two runs. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav (1) also failed to deliver much and was caught behind off Josh Hazlewood, who two balls later removed Tilak Varma for a duck as India lost four wickets for just 32.
Axar Patel (7) looked in good touch but got himself run out as India lost five wickets for just 49. Meanwhile, Abhishek Sharma continued his brilliant run and stayed at one end to bring up his sixth T20I half-century. He and Harshit Rana added a crucial half-century stand for the sixth wicket to take India’s total past 100 before Rana lost his wicket on 35 to Xavier Bartlett, who two balls later removed Shivam Dube (4) to expose India’s lower order.
Kuldeep Yadav then lost his wicket to Marcus Stoinis without opening his account before Abhishek Sharma (68) finally lost his wicket to Nathan Ellis as India found themselves on the verge of being all out, which didn’t take too long as Jasprit Bumrah was run out the very next ball and India were all out for 125 in 18.4 overs.
In reply, Australia got off to a brilliant start, adding 51 runs for the first wicket before Varun Chakaravarthy removed Travis Head on 28. His opening partner Mitchell Marsh (46) then continued to strike from one end and took Australia close to the target before losing his wicket to Kuldeep Yadav.
Tim David (1) was then removed by Varun as India started to make a comeback. Josh Inglis (20) was the next batter to depart after losing his wicket to Kuldeep Yadav. Bumrah, with just two runs left in the bank, removed Mitchell Owen (14) to delay Australia’s victory. He then, on the very next ball, cleaned up Matthew Short’s wicket as he continued to frustrate Australia.
But finally, Marcus Stoinis (6 not out) took Australia over the line in 13.2 overs as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the series.
