Every cricket fan who has seen the second ODI will have doubts that this is the pitch where Manollu was forced to bat… Is it here that top class batsmen like Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav ducked out? Where we struggled to cross 100, Australia ended the match in 11 overs in T20 style.
Mitchell Marsh once again hit a half-century as Travis Head added a run partnership for the first wicket with him. With this, Australia, who started batting with a target of 118 runs, ended the match in just 11 overs. Mitchell Marsh, who was in terrible form, scored 66 runs from 36 balls with 6 fours and 6 sixes, while Travis Head scored 51 runs from 30 balls with 10 fours.
