January 18, 2019  13:55


India 78-2 (22 ovs) vs Aus 230 | Scorecard

Stoinis overpitches as Dhoni drills it through the covers for three runs before Kohli turns the next ball on the leg side for one.

Zampa comes back into the attack, replacing Stanlake. The first ball is slightly short as Kohli cuts it behind point before Dhoni plays four dot balls in a row and then takes one off the last ball.

India are 73 for two in 20 overs, with Kohli on 32 from 42 balls and Dhoni on nine from 15 balls.

Kohli (32) gets another lifeline as Dhoni strokes into the covers and sets off for the run before he decides against it. Kohli is way committed for the run before he turns back halfway down the pitch and is lucky that the fielder missed the direct hit with him clearly struggling to make his crease.

Dhoni then clips Stoinis behind square leg for three runs as Kohli pushes him for the extra run.

Dhoni and Kohli are living on the edge at the moment. Kohli drives Zampa on the off-side where Marsh is quick to get to the ball but throws at the wrong end. Dhoni was a long way down the pitch and has to sprint back to make his crease which he does as the throw was at the keeper's end initially, who then throws it back to the bowler.
