Inserted into batting first, India\u2019s innings never quite recovered from a top-order collapse triggered by Hazlewood, whose sensational spell of 3-13 ensured the visitors were four down in the Power-play. He extracted seam movement and bounce with precision, while maintaining a probing length that consistently challenged the Indian batters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite a counter-attacking effort of 68 from Abhishek, India failed to regain momentum as they were bowled out for 125 in 18.4 overs, which Australia chased down with 40 balls remaining. \u201cAbsolutely - the way he bowled in the powerplay, if you're four down in the Power-play it's difficult to recover from that. Credit goes to him, Well bowled to him, he bowled really well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAbhishek has been doing this for quite some time now. He knows his game, knows his identity, and it\u2019s good he\u2019s not changing it - that\u2019s what\u2019s brought him success. Hopefully, he sticks with it and plays many more knocks like this for us,\u201d said Suryakumar in the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe need to do the same thing that we did in the first game - bat really well if we\u2019re batting first, put nice runs on the board, and then come out and defend,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
