Australia beat India by 4 wickets in the 1st T20
Wade has played a special knock to help Australia pull off this magnificent run chase. India had pulled things back to quite an extent with those wickets in the middle overs, but Wade has played another fantastic innings to take his team over the line. Cameron Green was at his destructive best in the powerplay, and he made India pay for their mistakes. Was out lbw, but India didn’t go up for a review. And later, he was also dropped by Axar Patel.
Axar made up for that dropped catch with three wickets, but India’s bowling towards the end of the innings was pretty ordinary. Wade punished them to all parts on the park, and due to this impressive knock by the left-hander, Australia go 1-0 up in the series. Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav tried their best to power India to a massive total, but the bowlers – in the powerplay, and towards the death – couldn’t come to the party. Harshal conceded 49 runs, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 52 runs. Quite a lot for India to ponder on.
