India won the five-match series after defeating Australia by 20 runs, and the Men in Blue currently lead the series 3-1. India gained some vital wickets from Axar Patel, and Rinku Singh hit some huge strokes to seal the victory in the seris.
Today, Axar Patel is working his magic as he got rid of Ben McDermott, Aaron Hardie, and Travis Head, three dangerous players, to ruin Australian batting. In addition to bowling exceptionally well, Ravi Bishnoi is also having near calls with wickets.
Australia’s opener Josh Philippe was bowled by India spinner Ravi Bishnoi with his first ball, setting up an intriguing duel as opener Travis Head appears to be in explosive form.
After 20 overs, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma led the struggling Indian team to a manageable score of 174/9. Australia restricted Indian hitters, who could not finish successfully, by taking several vital wickets in the last overs.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shreyas Iyer all headed back to the pavilion as India lost wickets quickly. In order to keep the audience entertained, Rinku Singh is playing effectively at the crease and hitting some spectacular strokes. The new batter in the crease is Jitesh Sharma.
India’s first breakthrough came from Australian pacer Aaron Hardie, who removed inexperienced opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shreyas Iyer, vice captain of India, has moved to the crease to accompany Ruturaj Gaikwad.
With the new ball, pacers Aaron Hardie and Jason Behrendorff launched the assault, while Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad opened the innings for the country. The goal of the openers will be to give their side a strong start.
At Raipur, Chhattisgarh’s Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, the India vs Australia match was scheduled for December 1. The fourth game of their five-game T20 series was this one. India defeated Australia, the world champions, in yesterday’s game to complete the five-match series.
India and Australia have faced off in 29 Twenty20 matches in the past. India has won 17, Australia has won 11, and there was no outcome in one match. India has dominated their last five Twenty20 matches, winning four to Australia’s one. India has a fantastic overall record against Australia, and the Men in Blue have performed remarkably well in the opening leg of the series.
The Raipur stadium is well-known for both domestic and IPL matches. It is a relatively new location for international cricket. It appears that bowlers are better off on this ground than batsmen. Only once, in the 29 T20 matches played here, has a team amassed 200 runs. In the last three games, India’s batting lineup has shown off some incredible skills, and they should play with the same fervor tomorrow.
This stadium hosted an ODI between India and New Zealand back in January 2023. After 108, New Zealand was eliminated. With an easy victory margin of eight wickets, Mohammed Shami was declared Player of the Match for his outstanding 3/18.
