India tour of Australia (Nov 22, 2024 - Jan 03, 2025)

[meninblue]

Aus 131/6 in 47 overs.Seems like India have bowled very well so far. Leading by 236. This is already in the red zone imo. India need to run through remaining 4 wickets by causing a collapse.

Jasprit: 14-2-30-4

Yashasvi dropped Marnus on 47. Pat Cummins is giving good support having scored 21*.

[meninblue]

Another dropped catch by Yashasvi at silly point. Sir creating a wicket chance there but dropped. This time Pat Cummins the beneficiary.

Maiden over by Jas to begin the 3rd session. A very good over this.

[meninblue]

Sir Jaddu from other end. Need wickets from him.

[meninblue]

This is simply wonderful display of pace bowling. Another excellent maiden by Jasprit. Beating the outside edge Marnus many times in those 6 balls and by no means is Marnus a T20 hack .

[meninblue]

Marnus is just fighting it out , keeping Pat away from Jasprit. They are executing the plan well of letting Jasprit finish his spell and then they can think of some runs. India desperately needs a wicket to foil this Austrlaian strategy and plan.

[meninblue]

Nicely glanced by Pat. Glane was certainly better than a sweep and he selects the proper shot. Good shot selection 4 as it goes past fine leg. Well executed shot on the rare bad ball by Jaddu.

[meninblue]

Out . 148/7 . Lead by 253. Marnus trapped LBW by bowlign change Siraj. Huge wicket this

Marnus reviews but umpires out decission stays. Marnus out for 70 from 139 balls. Got luch by drop cactches but still he saw of important spells. Well played

[meninblue]

Jasprit back into the attack very soon. India showing a lot of urgency.

[meninblue]

Run out. Christmas gift by Australia to India. Direct it by Rishabh at non-strikers end with Starc late to make the crease. Aus 156/8. 261 is the lead.

Wonderful throw by Rishabh.

[meninblue]

Pat Cummins 34 (74) is playing yet another fighting knock. Avoiding rash shots and approaching with the traditional test approach. His contribution with the bat and partnerships and time spents batting with marnus and now Nathan Lyon is crucial as India won't get long time to chase.

[meninblue]

4 by Pat. Short ball, moves towards leg stump and then places well to sweeper cover for 4. Nice back foot short, well placed through no-filder zone. Takes Aus to 169/8 with a lead of 275.

[meninblue]

Sir strikes. Pat caught by Rohit at slips. Tried to guide it past the slip fielder and Rohit catches it easily.

Aus 173/9 (64.1 overs) . Lead of 278.
