Tim David’s Blistering Knock Powers Australia to Competitive Total Against India
Guwahati, India – Tim David’s explosive 74 off just 38 balls spearheaded an Australian fightback in the 3rd T20I against India in Guwahati, helping them post a competitive total of 186. David’s innings, featuring five towering sixes and eight boundaries, pulled Australia out of early trouble after Arshdeep Singh’s early strikes had them reeling at 14 for 2.
David announced his intentions immediately, smashing a boundary off his very first ball. He reached his half-century in a blistering 23 balls, the second-fastest by an Australian against India in T20Is, surpassing Travis Head. One massive six travelled 129 meters, nearly clearing the stadium before hitting a sign.
Marcus Stoinis then anchored the innings with a crucial 64 off 39 balls, adding to the momentum built by David. Stoinis innings included 2 sixes and eight fours.
Earlier, Arshdeep Singh had rocked the Australian top order, dismissing Travis Head and Josh Inglis cheaply. Singh was the pick of the Indian bowlers, finishing with figures of 3 for 35. Varun Chakravarthy also chipped in with two wickets.
While Jasprit Bumrah was economical, he went wicketless.
David was eventually dismissed by Shivam Dube, with Tilak Varma taking a catch near the boundary. India now faces a challenging chase.
