2nd T20I: Marsh’s 46 Gives Australia Four-wicket Win Over India, Take 1-0 Series Lead
Skipper Mitchell Marsh: Skipper Mitchell Marsh hit a brisk 46 as Australia secured a four-wicket win over India in the second T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday, and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Travis Head’s 28 provided early impetus, along with Marsh’s knock, ensuring that the hosts reached home with 40 balls remaining. The duo’s early stand ensured Australia never looked in trouble to chase 126, despite a few wickets falling at the fag end. India’s bowlers did manage to inject some late drama into the contest, but it was too little, too late.
Josh Hazlewood was the standout performer with the ball, delivering a decisive opening spell that dismantled India’s top order. His figures of 3-13 laid the foundation for Australia’s win, with the rest of the bowling unit offering solid support to restrict India to 125 in 18.4 overs, despite Abhishek Sharma top-scoring with 68.
