In particular, Nathan Ellis and Adam Zampa wreaked havoc on the Indian batting line-up, both took three wickets each.

Gill and Abhishek got off to a good start

Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma gave a good start to Team India. Both of them made an opening partnership of 56 runs, but Abhishek was out on the score of 28 while trying to play a big shot. Shivam Dubey, who usually bats in the middle order, came to bat at number three. Dubey scored 22 runs, while captain Suryakumar Yadav made a good start by swinging the bat in a explosive manner, also hitting 2 sixes but ended after scoring 20 runs.

2 wickets fell at 121, then…

At one time the Indian team had lost only 2 wickets on the score of 121 runs. After that there was such a fall of wickets that within the next 15 runs, four batsmen were out. Tilak Verma and Jitesh Sharma could not even touch double figures in terms of runs. The seventh wicket fell at the score of 152 and Washington Sundar also left after hitting 2 fours. Thanks to Akshar Patel’s cameo inning of 21 runs, Team India was able to reach beyond 160.

Nathan Ellis proved to be the most lethal bowler for Australia, taking three wickets for just 21 runs in 4 overs. Adam Zampa proved to be expensive, but he also dismissed three batsmen of Team India. Xavier Bartlett and Marcus Stoinis took one wicket each.

RO-KO record in Sydney

Virat Kohli has scored a half-century (89) in only one of the 7 ODI matches played at the Sydney Cricket Ground. He has scored 146 runs in 7 matches at an average of 24.33. What is more worrying than this figure is that Kohli has been out for zero in the last two matches. This has happened for the first time in history.

Rohit Sharma has played 5 ODI matches at Sydney Cricket Ground, his record has been better than Virat Kohli. In Sydney, Rohit has scored 333 runs at an average of 66.60, which includes 1 century and 2 half-century innings.

In the first ODI match played in Perth, the Indian team was able to score only 136 runs, but Australia got the target of only 131 runs. Team India struggled to reach the score of 136 in the stipulated 26 overs, in which KL Rahul contributed the maximum of 38 runs. Akshar Patel scored 31 runs and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy returned unbeaten after scoring 19 runs. But how did it happen that India scored 136 runs, but Australia got the target of 5 runs less than that.

Why should Australia aim for less runs?

Rain interfered in this match being played in Perth. A lot of time was lost due to rain, due to which the overs were reduced to 26 overs in each innings. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and even captain Shubman Gill could not score big.

The Indian innings ended at 136 runs, but due to Duckworth-Lewis rules, Australia was given a target of 131 runs. Actually, the rules of DLS also depend on the remaining overs and remaining wickets.

How to get a new target from DLS?

Based on the Duckworth-Lewis rule, the revised target is given keeping in mind many aspects. According to the rules, the target is given to the other team keeping in mind the remaining overs, remaining wickets, how many runs the team batting first scored and at what time the match was interrupted.

Since the Indian team had lost 9 wickets, this was also one of the reasons for Australia getting less target. Had the Indian team been all out before the scheduled 26 overs, Australia could have got a target of less than 131 runs.
