India Faces 237 Run Target After Disciplined Bowling Display Against Australia in 3rd ODI
Sydney: India is set to chase a target of 237 runs in the third One Day International against Australia after the hosts were bowled out for 236 in 46.4 overs. Australia, after winning the toss and electing to bat, struggled against a disciplined Indian bowling attack where all six bowlers used picked up at least one wicket. This is the first time since 1986 that every bowler in the Indian team has taken a wicket against Australia in an ODI.
Opener Matt Renshaw top-scored for Australia with a well-made 56, but lacked substantial support from the rest of the batting lineup. Captain Mitchell Marsh (41) and Travis Head (29) gave the innings early impetus, but Head’s dismissal by Siraj, caught by Prasidh Krishna, shifted the momentum. Axar Patel then bowled Marsh to put India in the driver’s seat. Renshaw, along with Matthew Short (30) and Alex Carey (24), attempted to rebuild, but the Indian bowlers struck at regular intervals.
Harshit Rana was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming 4 wickets, while Washington Sundar chipped in with 2. Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Prasidh Krishna all took one wicket each.
A highlight of the Australian innings was Virat Kohli’s stunning catch to dismiss Renshaw. Late contributions from Cooper Connolly (23) and Nathan Ellis (16) helped Australia cross the 230 mark.
Shreyas Iyer left the field after sustaining an injury while fielding. The extent of his injury is currently unknown.
The match is taking place amidst social media buzz about Virat Kohli’s possible retirement, however, his fitness displayed on the field, including the spectacular catch, dismisses any such rumors. Rohit Sharma has also been commended for his agile fielding performance.
India will now look to chase down the target and secure a series victory.
