September 17, 2017  22:13


Aus 137-9 (21 ovs); D/L Target: 164 in 21 ovs | Scorecard

Bumrah is back into the attack. Faulkner goes hard at the first ball but gets a thick outside edge which goes through the vacant slip region for a four.

He smashes the next ball straight down the ground but gets only one as the ball hits the stumps at the non-striker's end.

Bumrah looking to bowl it right up and not give the batsmen anything to work it.

The young pacer deceives Coulter-Nile with slower balls twice in a row, leaving Australia to get 39 from the last two overs for victory.

The situation has got desperate for Australia and Coulter-Nile swings his arms in hope. But he only manages to loft Bhuvneshwar into the hands of Jadhav at deep midwicket to perish for two.

Bumrah to bowl the final over with 34 needed for victory.

Faulkner hits the first ball to deep midwicket and refuses the single. The next ball is a slower delivery as Faulkner throws his bat but gets an outside edge.

Wicketkeeper Dhoni does well to dive to his right and take the catch but the umpire is not sure and refers it upstairs.

Dhoni seems to have got to the ball but it touched the ground before Dhoni could pouch it in his gloves and so Faulkner stays on.

But the match is out of Australia's reach with 34 needed from four balls.
