ICC T20 Wold Cup, IND vs AUS Highlights: Shami 3 wickets in the final over along with a run-out as India wins by 6 runs

  The result doesn't really matter, but there were a few boxes ticked for both teams. India's death bowling, their weakness of the past, was quite spot-on today. Agreed, the warm-up meant they could try all their options, a luxury which they'll not have in a regular game. 

  Rohit will be happy with what he's seen. Positives with the bat for both teams and that was the least of worries for both squads - 50s for KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav and Aaron Finch, perhaps India would have wanted Rohit and Kohli spend some more time in the middle, ditto for Australia with Glenn Maxwell.

  Shami to Josh Inglis, out Bowled!! This is turning out to be a wonderful finish by India, Shami gets his yorker spot-on, full and at the off-stump, Inglis swung across the line and missed, turns around to see the zing bails light up in unison. Josh Inglis b Shami 1(3)

  Shami to Agar, out Agar Run Out!! A run-out now, short of a length and angling across the left-hander, Agar swung and missed - Josh Inglis was always going for the single, DK collects and throws it back at the bowler, who turns around and smashes the stumps, with Agar well short.

  Shami to Cummins, out Caught by Kohli!! A one-handed stunner from Kohli, right at the edge of the ropes and he can sport a wry smile. A low full-toss and Cummins drilled it down the ground powerfully, was set to clear the ropes, but Kohli timed his jump to perfection at long-on - leapt with his right hand and clinged onto a one-handed blinder. Cummins c Kohli b Shami 7(6)

  Harshal Patel to Josh Inglis, out Tim David Run Out!! A direct hit at the striker's end, but India are already celebrating and Tim David is already walking away. Virat Kohli with the throw and he's caught the batter short. Another perfect slower ball from Harshal, dipped into the right-hander who could only squeze an under-edge to the on-side. They were looking for a quick single, but Kohli swooped on the ball, picked it with his right hand and threw down the stumps. Tim David run out (Kohli) 5(2) [4s-1]

  
• 17 Oct 2022, 12:47 PM

  Harshal Patel to Finch, out Bowled!! The slower ball does the trick for Harshal - that's his speciality and that's the reason he's in this Indian squad, loopy slower delivery on off, looked like a full-toss and lured into the playing the on-drive, but the ball dipped alarmingly, snuck under the bat and crashed into the off-stump. Something to cheer for Harshal. Finch b Harshal Patel 79(54) [4s-7 6s-3]

  Welcome back for the run chase folks! With Warner not being a part of this game, it will be interesting to see how other Australian batters go about the run chase. Good opportunity for the players who haven't been among runs of late. Will they manage to find back their form? Let's find out. Bhuvi to start with a couple of slips in.

  K Richardson to Ashwin, out Caught by Maxwell!! India finish with 186/7! Tries to play the lofted shot again, but doesn't have enough legs to clear Maxwell at long-off. Fourth wicket of the innings for Richardson and he'll be pretty satisfied with his bowling spell today. Ashwin c Maxwell b K Richardson 6(2) [6s-1]

  After 20 Overs  India - 186/7

  KL Rahul 57 (33), Suryakumar Yadav 50 (33)

  K Richardson to Ashwin, SIX, Ashwin is off the mark with a six. A short ball outside off and Ashwin guides it over deep backward point as the ball just manages to clear the boundary. Made the most of the pace and put it away

  
• 17 Oct 2022, 11:03 AM

  K Richardson to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught&Bowled!! That's the third wicket for Richardon! Suryakumar Yadav tries to flick this away, but he is way too early. Right of the cue end as the ball lobs straight back to Richardson. Suryakumar Yadav c and b K Richardson 50(33) [4s-6 6s-1]

  Starc to Suryakumar Yadav, no run, nasty bouncer that! Well directed short ball and Suryakumar Yadav looks to pull it away. Gets outfoxed due to the pace and bounce, and is struck on the helmet. The physio charges on to the field to have a check on SKY, who looks fine. No harm done, but he'll surely be rattled after that blow. Even Rahul got struck on the helmet earlier in the day, now Surya at the receiving end. Not easy to execute unorthodox shots on such bouncy pitches

  K Richardson to Hardik Pandya, out Caught by Tim David!! That's a soft dismissal. Didn't look in his elements today did Pandya. A slower short ball around off, Hardik Pandya plays a mediocre shot. Ends up guiding it straight to the fielder at short third man. Didn't pick that slower one at all, and departs quite early. Not the kind of warm-up game he was looking for. Hardik Pandya c Tim David b K Richardson 2(5)

  During the toss Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said, "Just wanted to try out things, we don't mind batting first and setting a target. We came here early and had a  preparatory camp in Perth. These two games will allow us to get into the groove, we want to try out certain things in the two games we have here. I know which bowlers will play in my mind, but it's important to give them confidence. Few of them are on their first tour of Australia, a fantastic place to play cricket and enjoy while learning the conditions. It's a privilege, my first time as Indian captain in an ICC tournament and I'll look to enjoy this".

  Speaking at the toss, Australian skipper Aaron Finch said, "We will bowl, looks like a pretty good pitch and we'd like to chase. We have played a little more cricket in the lead-up to this tournament, we weren't at our best against England, lost a few more wickets early. David Warner, Matthew Wade, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zmapa sit out of today's game".

  Tom Moody confirms that there is no rain but the conditions are slightly overcast. Seamers will definitely enjoy the proceedings. He also mentions the pitch to be good for the batters, but warns them on the field dimension. 

  Leg side boundary is bit long as compared to the off side.
