India Vs. Australia 2nd T20 Live Stream

Visitors India drew first blood in the three-match T20 series against Australia when they beat their hosts by 37 runs in front of a capacity crowd at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday. He got some very good support from Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma and his captain MS Dhoni to enhance India’ s cause. Australia’s Test and ODI captain had just had a conversation with commentators, answering questions that was broadcast live while at the crease during the 188-run chase when he miscued a shot and spooned a catch to Virat Kohli at extra cover.

India’s spin bowlers Ravi Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja were the difference makers in Adelaide, striking down the Australian batsmen with four wickets to halt their 189 run chase. Among the wicket-takers was also debutant Hardik Pandya but he gave away 37 runs for two wickets in his three overs, including six wides. “The guy has played 50 T20Is now and seems like 100s of games of T20 cricket around the world and he used all of that tonight and he was outstanding and obviously got two early-ish wickets which helps, but we couldn’t back it up in the middle which was disappointing”, he summed up. On the other hand, Australia’s debutant, Travis Head was lbw to Jadeja for 2 from 5 balls.

BRIEF SCORES: India 188/3 in 20 overs (Virat Kohli 90 n.o., Suresh Raina 41; Shane Watson 2/21) bt Australia 151 in 19.3 overs (Aaron Finch 44, Steve Smith 21; Jaspreet Bumrah 3/23, R Ashwin 2/28, R Jadeja 2/21).

Only this time, the women who wanted to take pictures with Kohli were not fans but members of the national cricket team. After that, Mitchel Marsh made his maiden One Day ton as he made 102 off 84 balls with nine fours and two sixes. Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra came back into India colors while Shaun Tait and Shane Watson wore the Australian jersey again.

“I thought we bowled well, might have conceded 10-15 runs too many”. After taking his catch, Kohli mimed a mouthing off gesture, perhaps indicating that had Smith’s mind been on the match instead of the interview, things may have turned out different. But Kohli and Raina were untroubled until Raina was bowled by Faulkner in the final over.

India took 1-0 lead in the series.

“We let ourselves down in the field, an unbelievable innings from Kohli”.

Faulkner was unlucky to miss out on a wicket in his opening over as a loose shot from Rohit saw the ball come off the top edge of the bat and fly towards third man where Cameron Boyce dropped a sitter. “It will be important to start well in the first six overs”, he said.
