Brilliant captaincy from Steven Smith and all-round effort from the Australian unit saw them beat India by a margin of 21 runs in the series decider at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, eventually sealing the series by a 1-2 margin. Interestingly, not a single innings saw the completion of the full quota of 50 overs in the entire series.
Talking about the game, the visitors won the crucial toss and opted to bat first at the famous MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Australia went with the same opening pair of Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, despite the addition of regular-opener David Warner.
The openers didn’t disappoint as they went on a blistering start, adding 68 runs for the first wicket. Hardik Pandya bowled a dream spell to quickly dismantle the top-order, taking three wickets in his three consecutive overs.
Handy contributions from the middle and lower-middle order helped Australia post a par total of 269 in 49 overs. Mitchell Marsh was the top scorer for the Aussies with 47 runs.
In response to 269, Indian openers started well with a good going partnership in the powerplay, scoring 65 runs for the first wicket. Sean Abbott drew the first blood for Australia, picking the wicket of set batter Rohit Sharma. Soon, Adam Zampa joined hands with Abbott to send Gill back to the pavilion.
However, the duo of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli kept the chase going as they added 69 runs for the third wicket, but it was Zampa who broke yet another good-going partnership by picking up the set KL Rahul. India then lost Axar Patel courtesy of some sublime fielding from skipper Steven Smith.
Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya added 34 more runs for the sixth wicket. Kohli reached his sixty-fifth half-century, then came in the partnership spoiler in the form of Ashton Agar, who picked the wicket of Kohli to get Australia back in the contest. Suryakumar Yadav continued his poor form with his third consecutive golden duck.
The duo of Pandya and Jadeja then showed some resistance as they added 33 runs for the seventh wicket. Zampa broke the good-going partnership for the third time by picking up Pandya. The momentum shifted towards Australia once Pandya got out, eventually defeating India by a margin of 21 runs to seal the three-match series.
