havoc of indian bowlers

At one time the Australian team was moving towards an easy victory. From the very beginning, the Indian bowlers did not give the Australian batsmen a chance to open their hands, but the Kangaroo team had scored 67 runs at the loss of just one wicket. Due to playing to save wickets, the required run rate for the Australian team kept on increasing, due to which other batsmen also started losing their wickets while trying to play fast shots.

Amazing work of Sundar-Dubey-Patel trio

Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey and Axar Patel together broke the back of the Australian batting line-up. All three together took 7 wickets. Especially Washington Sundar did wonders, who bowled only 8 balls, in which he took three wickets for just 3 runs. The magic of this trio was that Australia’s last 7 wickets fell within just 28 runs. Varun Chakraborty, Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah took one wicket each.

India has defeated Australia by 9 wickets in the third ODI. Rohit Sharma made an important contribution to Team India’s victory by playing the match-winning inning of 121 runs.
