Australia vs India, 1st T20I: The first T20I between India and Australia in Canberra was abandoned due to rain. Rain interrupted play twice, and the second time it didn’t stop, forcing the match to be abandoned. Batting first, Team India made a strong start. Although Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for 19, captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill won the hearts of Indian fans with their impressive batting.
Gill-Surya reduced the tension
Shubman Gill scored 37 runs off 20 balls, with a strike rate of 185. Suryakumar Yadav scored 39 runs off 24 balls, hitting two sixes and three fours. Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill were a major cause of concern for Team India. These two players were not in good form, but their impressive batting in Canberra has somewhat alleviated Team India’s tension.
Now this will be the India-Australia match
The next match between India and Australia will now be played in Melbourne. This match will be played on October 31st. Worryingly, there is a threat of rain in Melbourne as well. Currently, there is a 50% chance of rain in Melbourne, and it may rain during the match. Hopefully, the situation in that match will not be similar to the one in Canberra.
Made Australian bowlers cry
Speaking of Australia, the match in Canberra was abandoned due to rain, but the 9.4 overs bowled in the match became a cause for concern. The Australian bowlers conceded 97 runs on the bouncy Canberra pitch. Bowlers like Hazlewood, Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Kuhnemann failed to make an impact. Now, the Australian bowlers will have to employ a different strategy in Melbourne.
