Aus bowlers shine in death overs
September 21, 2017 17:52
India 252 (50 ovs) vs Australia | Scorecard
Australia's bowlers have done well to restrict India to just over 250, particularly after Kohli and Rahane's superb batting show in the middle overs.
But Steve Smith deserves a pat on the back for using his bowlers smartly. He rotated the bowlers well and they in turn mixed up the pace to put a strangle on India's scoring rate.
Besides the captain, Rahane none of the batsmen could find their feet.
The rain interruption did little to affect the Aus bowlers who did well to put a lid on the scoring at the death.

Richardson gets the last over, bowls a slower one, Pandya goes after the full toss only to hand a catch to Warner in the deep.
