India struggle after early wickets
September 17, 2017  16:14


India 139-5 (33 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Coulter-Nile, who did the damage early on with three wickets in his first spell, coming back for his second spell in place of Stoinis, who took two for 28 in his six overs.

He nearly gets another one but Smith fails to get down low in time to take the edge from Pandya (13) as it goes past him for a four. He turns the next ball square on the leg side for a couple and then takes one to take his score to 20 from 21 balls, going past Dhoni, who has 18 from 30 balls.

Pandya mishits a pull shot against Coulter-Nile but the balls drops short of the fielder at deep midwicket.

With Australia bowling a few tight overs, Pandya looks desperate to force the issue. He comes down the track to Faulkner and throws his bat at a wide one but gets a couple through the off-side followed by two singles.

Stoinis is back into the attack. Dhoni immediately comes down the track but is beaten by the slower bouncer as he is struck on the body.

Even Pandya is foxed by the slower ball as the ball keeps low and beats the wicketkeeper for four byes.

Leg-spinner Zampa comes back into the attack. Six singles from the over as the two batsmen bring up the 50-run stand for the sixth wicket.
