Siraj strikes; Aus lose early wicket

March 17, 2023 13:41

Aus 5-0 (2 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are the two openers for Australia, while Mohammed Shami will open the bowling for India.

Head defends the first ball to mid-on and defends the next into the covers.

The left-hander is beaten third ball courtesy of some extra bounce for Shami, as he plays away from his body. He pushes the fourth ball into the covers for a quick single to get Australia off the mark.

Marsh is squared up as Shami gets a bit of away movement with the ball going off the outside half to point.

The last ball is full as Marsh gets his bat down in time to drive it to mid-off with Shami off to a tidy start.

India's best bowler across formats in the last six months Mohammed Siraj is back into the attack.

He starts with three dot balls to Head, not giving away any room, before the left-hander crashes the fourth ball through the covers for a four with the pacer bowling short and wide.

Head is beaten next ball as he throws his bat at a wide delivery, looking to cut but misses.

Siraj gets the early breakthrough for India as Head is bowled off the last ball of the over. Head looks to force it through the off-side but ends up inside edging it back to his stumps to be bowled for five.
