India beat Australia by 6 wicket in the only T20 between them in this tour
on Thursday. After winning the toss Indian captain, MS Dhoni opted to bowl
first on a flat, batting friendly pitch at Rajkot.
Aussies came out with all gun blazing, their openers Aaron Finch and Debutant Nic Maddinson cleared their intentions from very first over. Both started in a typical T20 style with 6's and 4's all over. They were put on 56 runs partnership in just 29 balls. Maddinson was the first who was got out on 34 off 16 by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Australia were 74/1 after power play overs, 6 overs. but after that Indian was able reduce that Run Rate of 12.33( after 6 overs) to 10.00 (after 9 overs). Australia score was 90/3 after 9th over. Watson (6) and Bailey (0) were gone back cheaply.
Glenn Maxwell after scoring for in final of CLT20 for Mumbai Indians, played a similar kind of innings here for Aussies. he had hit 3 sixes in Ashwin's over which provided them the momentum they need after few wickets. He made flashy 27 in just 13 balls with 4 sixes. Aaron played an anchor innings for Australia and leaded his team to massive 201/ 7 . He made 89 off 52 with 14 fours and 1 six.
Target of 200 runs is always a tricky and hard won to seek out. As everyone know that batting is India's strong hold but still you never know with 200 scores, team collapse in these kind of situation where they needed to score at 10 runs per over.
Both Opener, Rohit Sharma (8) and Suresh Raina (19) were back to the pavilion after 5.3 overs that left India at 50/2. It seemed like that Shikhar Dhawan, who played some marvelous knocks since his return to Indian Squad, was poised for another big innings but his innings cut short when he going down the wicket on Doherty and stumped by Haddin on 32 off 19.
Before the match there was one more thing that made headline and that was Yuvraj Singh come back in Team India. When he came to to the cease it was stage sat for him to made a mark on come back game. India were at 83/3 and required 119 more to win. He along with the captain, MS Dhoni made 102* off 51 balls for 5th wicket. Yuvraj was the main contributor in partnership with Dhoni. Yuvraj made 77 in just 35 balls with 3 fours and 5 sixes at a SR of 220.
