India beat Australia by 9 wickets and with 6.3 overs to spare at Sawai man singh stadium, Jaipur on wednesday in the 2nd game of the series of 7. It was required only three batsman and 43.3 overs for india to chase that massive colossal target of 359.
On the toss, after winning it Aussies opted to bat first at Jaipur. It was almost like that Aussies just repeating themselves. Great opening stand, followed by the fantastic knock of middle order to powered them to a massive score.
Aaron Finch 50(53) and Phillip Hughes 83(103) just did want every team wants from their openers, a stable opening stand that laid the foundation for a monster score. Aussies were at 74 when they lost their 1st wicket. Shane Watson, who till now don't have a great run in this tour, showed his class and made quick 59 off 53 with 6 fours and 3 sixes. he along with Hughes made 108 runs for 2nd wicket.
Skipper George Bailey, who joined the crease after Watson dismissal played from where he left on 13th Oct in 1st match. Glenn Maxwell - who was joined him after a unorthodox batting of Hughes - just know one style of play which is destroying the opponents bowling attack in such a devastating manner that it will be impossible for them to come back in the game. Bailey 92*(50) and Maxwell 53(32) scored 96 in just 51 balls for 4th wicket. That partnership was completely devastated the Indian bowling attack. Aussies with the help of five half centuries placed the massive target of 360 before India.they had finished 359/5.
Skipper George Bailey's unbeaten 92 was his fourth score in excess of 80 in last five appearances and also he is the leading run scorer for Australia in One day Internationals this year.
That "359" score was not new for both Aussies and India, that was the third time Aussies made that score for Indian to chase. last two occasions was 2003 World Cup at Johannesburg and in 2004 at Sydney and on both occasions Aussies have embarrassed India by winning comprehensively.
Indian bowling were seemed like helpless before Aussie batting. Although they were not allowed Aussies to free their arms in first power play and till that point, things were well under control for the Indians. but it was after 20 overs when Indian started to lose the plot. Aussies, at that point of time, had 9 wickets in hand and 30 overs left, this allowed them to press the accelerator and go for the kill till the last over.
All bowlers except B Kumar and R Ashwin, were ended with Econ of more then 7.00, which is quiet obvious when opponent have 350+ score on board. Ishant Sharma was again a disappointment for India. Skipper MS Dhoni had tried him with new ball where he bowled well but failed to deliver what was expected from him that is WICKET. India bowlers stats were:
With Spinners and Pacers were:
Indian Spinners: 22-0-157-1
Indian Pacer: 28-1- 197-2
Indian Openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma responded well to the massive target of 360. They both played some mind blowing shots to scored 176 runs in 26.1 overs for 1st wicket. Dhawan, who was the more aggressive among the two was the first one to got out. he had played the stunning knock of 95 off 86 with 14 fours. After his dismissal Virat Kohli came to crease and just blasted on to the Aussie bowlers. He along with Rohit Sharma, who scored 141* off 123 balls with 17 fours and 4 sixes, made 186* in just 104 balls. Kohli was played a blinder, he made 100* in just 52 balls and scored fastest hundred by an Indian.
India chased down that target relatively easily, what seemed like for fans. Rohit Sharma, who had made his 3rd One Day hundred after a span of almost 4 years was awarded with Man of the Match award.
