Dhawan, Rohit give India a good start

November 21, 2018 16:03

India 27-0 (3 ovs); D/L Target: 174 in 17 ovs | Scorecard

Left-arm pacer Jason Behrendorff to open the bowling for Australia. The first ball is full and on the pads as Rohit Sharma clips it through midwicket for three runs to get off the mark.

The next ball is a wide half-volley as Shikhar Dhawan slaps it through the covers for a four to get off the mark in some style.

The third ball comes in as Dhawan is hit on the pads before he gets a thick inside edge off the next, as it goes past the stumps for a four behind the stumps.

Behrendorff gets it right off the last two balls, bowling it wide of the stumps and dragging Dhawan into having a poke only to get beaten courtesy of some away movement.

Pacer Billy Stanlake to bowl the second over. Rohit steers the second ball on the off-side for a single before the fast bowler bowls a bouncer down the leg side which is ruled a wide.

Stanlake then drifts wide as Dhawan slashes it past point for a four before he takes a single.

Dhawan looks to take the attack to Australi's bowlers early on. He chips down the track and smashes Behrendorff straight down the ground for a four and then guides a short ball past the slip fielder for two runs before he lofts the pacer over mid-on for another couple of runs.

Dhawan retains strike with a single off the last ball as India race to 27 for no loss in three overs.
