From the latest cricket updates, for the run chase of 91 runs in a short format, 8 overs match, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul started their innings at the crease to face Josh Hazlewood. Sharma looked quited in form when he roared out hitting 6 in just the 3rd ball.
Sharma got 13 runs single-handedly in the 1st over in just 4 balls and India stood at 20, losing no wicket with Rahul getting on the groove.
Rohit smacked a slower delivery over square leg for a six from the delivery by Cummins in 1.3 overs. Sharma left no chance of hitting the ball off the fence for a six with Adam Zampa in the bowling attack. KL Rahul was bowled out, scoring just 10. With Daniel Sams coming in for the bowling attack, Kohli came to the crease hitting two fours in the 4th over; India at 51/1.
Zampa wrapped up Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in the same over with India at 58/3 in 5 overs. He is a master in varying his pace and deceiving the batters to limit their scores. To accompany Sharma to take India towards the win, Pandya joined but without any delays, Rohit chipped the ball over cover for a four in 5.3 overs and a total of 41 off 18 balls after 6 overs.
Pat Cummins came into the attack and delivered the first wide ball to Rohit. After waiting for a slower delivery outside off stump, Pandya found his space to hit four.
On a throw from Cummins, Pandya lost his wicket; Finch caught him out. Dinesh Karthik joined the captain but Rohit seemed to manage the victory solely and took a length delivery outside off stump for a four in the last ball of 6th over.
The finisher Dinesh Karthik gave a six on a throw from Daniel Sams and a four in the consequent throw.
India stole the show with a victory over Australia by 6 wickets, scoring 92 in 7.2 overs.
