India and Australia clashed with each other in the 1st T20I at Mohali on 20th September, Tuesday. Rohit Sharma and his men didn't have a good time on the field as they lost their first game against Australia even after scoring 208 on the board.
They have asked to bat first by the visitors and in reply, India posted a humongous total of 208 runs with the help of Hardik Pandya's swashbuckling 71 runs off just 30 balls. His innings included the likes of 7 fours and 5 sixes.
Chasing a huge target, Australia got the start from their openers, especially Cameron Green, who smashed 61 runs from 30 balls with the help of 8 fours and 4 sixes.
After his dismissal, Australia struggled a bit in the middle but thanks to Mathew Wade and Tim Wade as they went through the Indian bowling line-up to win the game and also got the lead of 1-0 in the three-match series.
It was a good contest: Aaron Finch
Winning the 1st T20I against India, the Australian skipper Aaron Finch shared a few words in the post-match presentation regarding to the performance against the hosts.
"It was a good contest, wasn't it? We had some really good partnerships, there were some good contests between the bat and ball. They came hard at us. You expect the run rate to slow down if you lose wickets.
The batters tried to change the momentum of the game. That's what we play for, we still try to instil all the processes leading into the World Cup," said Aaron Finch.
However, Rohit Sharma wasn't happy with Yuzvendra Chahal and Dinesh Karthik as both of them missed an lbw chance of Cameron Green during the 5th over of the game. After that, the right-handed batter went on to smash 61 runs from 30 balls which proved the value of his wicket for them.
