India did not lose any T20 series after T20 World Cup

It is very important for India to win the third T20, because if Suryakumar Yadav loses here, then India can only draw the series even after winning the last two matches. Let us tell you that since the 2024 T20 World Cup, India has won all the 5 T20 series played.

India vs Australia T20 match schedule

In the second T20 against Australia, the Indian team, batting first, collapsed for 125 runs, a major reason for this was the fall of 4 wickets in the powerplay. Josh Hazlewood alone took 3 wickets in the powerplay, who gave only 13 runs in his spell of 4 overs. Australia won this match by 4 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series. When Abhishek Sharma, who came to the press conference after the match, came to know that Hazlewood will no longer play in this series, he was shocked.

Except Abhishek Sharma and Harshit Rana, no other Indian batsman could touch double figures in the second T20. While every batsman seemed to be in trouble against the Australian bowlers, Abhishek was scoring runs at a strike rate close to 200. Abhishek scored 68 runs in 37 balls with the help of 8 fours and 2 sixes.

Regarding Josh Hazlewood, Abhishek Sharma said in the press conference after the match, “I have been watching him since the ODI series, I knew that he would challenge us. The way he was bowling today, it was difficult to play in front of him. I wanted to dominate him, but he had his own plans which he was adopting well. For me too, this Spain in front of him was new.”

Josh Hazlewood will not play the next 3 matches

Meanwhile, when the journalist informed him that Josh Hazlewood will not play in the next 3 T20s against India, he was shocked and said, “Is it so? I don’t know but if it is so then it will be a relief. I know that he is a bowler of all three formats. As a batsman, you have to learn to face the best bowlers of the world and this is what I am trying to do.”

The second highest score for Team India was made by Harshit Rana, who played an important inning of 35 runs while batting at seventh position. Apart from Abhishek and Harshit, no other Indian batsman could even touch double figures in terms of runs.

The Indian team had a very bad start. Shubman Gill was out after scoring 5 runs in the third over itself. The team management perhaps made the conditions a little difficult for the Indian batsmen by changing the batting order. Captain Suryakumar, who usually plays at number 3, came at fourth position, while Sanju Samson was sent at third position. As a result, Surya and Samson walked out after scoring 1 and 2 runs respectively.

Due to this strategy, even Tilak Verma, who had maintained his form in the Asia Cup, did not work. Tilak came at number-5, who could not even open the account. Axar Patel looked in good touch, but he too was run out on the score of 7 runs.

Only Abhishek-Harshit should go

Josh Hazlewood was the most successful bowler for Australia, taking three wickets for just 13 runs in 4 overs. Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis took two wickets each and Marcus Stoinis also managed to take one wicket. Two Indian batsmen, Akshar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah were run out.

Josh Hazlewood’s lethal bowling was seen in the India vs Australia second T20 being played at Melbourne Cricket Ground, he bowled 3 overs in the powerplay and took 3 big wickets. He gave only 6 runs and made Shubhman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma his victims. With this he made a big record in his name.

In the second T20, Mitchell Marsh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Batting first, India got the first blow on the score of 20, vice-captain Shubman Gill was out after scoring 5 runs after playing 10 balls. He was dismissed by Hosh Hazlewood. After this Sanju Samson became the victim of Nathan Ellis, he could score only 2 runs.

Josh Hazlewood dismissed Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma respectively on the third and fifth balls of the 5th over. On the second ball of the over, the wicket keeper had given up an easy catch of Suryakumar, but Hazlewood bowled the next ball on a good length and was again caught by the wicket keeper. Tilak Verma went to hit a big shot but the ball only went high, the wicket keeper took an easy catch.
