Australia beat India by 66 runs: third one-day international – as it happened | Australia cricket team – MyCyberBase
Key events
India win the series 2-1
That’s all for today, and for this series. Our next live cricket will be the World Cup, starting with England v New Zealand a week tomorrow. See you then!
Marnus Labuschagne speaks
It was nice to contribute. I came in at a different time than I have been, and it was nice to navigate the back end and get a really good total on the board.
It felt like the front end of the inning was the nicest time to bat. The ball started spinning and sticking in the wicket towards the back end, and the bowlers did really well to go about things a little differently.
We’ve lost the series – India played very well – but it was nice to see the big guns back today. The team gelled and everyone contributed in their own way.
[He’s asked two or three times about his World Cup prospects but he can’t hear the questions. Or so he says; if he was deliberately swerving them, he’s got a helluva poker face.]
The two groups of players shake hands. They’ll see each other again in Chennai a week on Sunday. Well, most of them will; one or two may sleep uneasily tonight as they wait for confirmation of the final 15-man squads.
That was an intelligent performance from Australia, with bat and ball. Their top four made hay before the ball got old, and their quicks took the pace off on an increasingly awkward pitch. Best of all, Glenn Maxwell dismissed the top four and ended with career-best figures.
AUSTRALIA WIN BY 66 RUNS
WICKET! India 286 all out (Siraj c Cummins b Green 1) Pat Cummins crosses the Is and dots the Ts with a fine catch at long off. After five straight defeats, Australia really needed that victory.
49th over: India 286-9 (Siraj 1, Prasidh 0) A good evening’s work for Tanveer Sangha, who finishes with 10-0-61-1. It might not be enough to get him in the World Cup squad but he has been quite impressive.
WICKET! India 286-9 (Jadeja LBW b Sangha 35)
Sangha gets a deserved wicket. The ball after pumping a six over long-on, Jadeja walked across, missed a hoick over backward square and was hit on the pad. He reviewed, mainly because India had two left, but replays showed it was hitting the outside of leg stump.
48th over: India 280-8 (Jadeja 29, Siraj 1) Jadeja walks across to ramp Cameron Green for four. India will lose but this is a useful net for Jadeja, the first time he has reached 20 in the last 14 ODIs.
47th over: India 273-8 (Jadeja 22, Siraj 1) Tanveer Sangha comes on to bowl his last two overs, and almost gets a wicket when Jadeja inside-edges a fine delivery between his legs for a single. Sangha’s figures are modest (9-0-55-0) but he had a decent day and didn’t look fazed when bowling to Rohit and Kohli.
46th over: India 272-8 (Jadeja 21, Siraj 1) A reminder, as if it were needed, that Australia begin their World Cup campaign with a couple of humdingers: India in Chennai on 8 October and South Africa in Lucknow four days later.
WICKET! India 270-8 (Bumrah c Labuschagne b Cummins 5)
Cummins gets a small reward for his yakka. Bumrah pings a slower ball high in the air towards square leg, where Labuschagne calmly takes the catch.
45th over: India 269-7 (Jadeja 19, Bumrah 5) Australia’s boundary fielding has been brilliant tonight, and Labuschagne saves three more when Jadeja muscles Maxwell towards cow corner.
No five-for for Maxwell, but he does return his best figures in ODIs and indeed List A cricket: 10-0-40-4. They were vital wickets, too, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. That will give him such a boost going into the World Cup.
44th over: India 266-7 (Jadeja 17, Bumrah 4) Bumrah gets off the mark with a boundary, chipping Cummins jauntily behind square. It hasn’t been a great day for Cummins the bowler (7-0-56-0) but a victory should soothe the pain.
43rd over: India 258-7 (Jadeja 14, Bumrah 0) Maxwell has two overs left in which to get his maiden five-for. The first passes without incident, mainly because Jasprit Bumrah decides not to play any attacking strokes.
42nd over: India 257-7 (Jadeja 13, Bumrah 0) The final World Cup squads will be finalised later today/tomorrow. I’ve no idea what Australia do with Marnus Labuschagne. He has played splendidly since returning to the side, but Travis Head is such a unique threat that I would want him even if it was just for a potential semi-final and final. Maybe you could leave out Stoinis or Green, but that’s a risk with Mitch Marsh struggling to bowl. Josh Inglis might not sleep well tonight.
WICKET! India 257-7 (Kuldeep b Hazlewood 2)
A second wicket for Josh Hazlewood, who has quietly bowled well tonight. Kuldeep drags a slower ball onto the stumps to end an imperfect innings of 2 from 12 balls.
41st over: India 255-6 (Jadeja 12, Kuldeep 2) Australia have held their nerve impressively. India were 144 for one after 20.5 overs, with Rohit and Kohli going well, but the wicket of Rohit changed everything.
Jadeja charges Maxwell, but all he can do is hack the ball to long on for a single. Both teams know the game is over.
40th over: India 251-6 (Jadeja 10, Kuldeep 0) Kuldeep Yadav is a No10, not a No8, and he’s struggling to lay a bat on Hazlewood. The only run from the over is a wide.
39.3 overs: India 250-6 (Jadeja 10, Kuldeep 0) Jadeja’s white-ball batting form has been poor – no fifties since December 2020 – so he might as well use this as a net ahead of the World Cup.
One of the floodlight towers has stopped working, so there’s a break in play while it’s sorted. And it is now.
39th over: India 249-6 (Jadeja 9, Kuldeep 0) In a 600-run game, Glenn Maxwell’s figure are quite outstanding: 7-0-32-4.
WICKET! India 249-6 (Shreyas b Maxwell 48)
Brilliant from Glenn Maxwell! The ball after being belted over midwicket for six by Shreyaas Iyer, he gets his man. Shreyas pushed down the wrong line and was bowled, prompting a big celebration from Maxwell. He’s one wicket away from a first white-ball five-for.
38th over: India 243-5 (Shreyas 42, Jadeja 9) India have a longish tail, so Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja have a lot of work to do. Jadeja makes a start with consecutive boundaries, a superbly placed cut and a steer to the left of Carey. India need 110 from 72 balls.
WICKET! India 233-5 (Suryakumar c Maxwell b Hazlewood 8)
Instant silence in Rajkot. Suryakumar clunks a slower ball from Hazlewood straight to Maxwell at midwicket – he may even have hit it twice. Either way, he’s gone and Australia are almost there.
37th over: India 232-4 (Shreyas 40, Suryakumar 8) Suryakumar gets his first boundary, sweeping Sangha vigorously round the corner. Then a square drive is superbly saved by Maxwell on the boundary, not the first he has done that tonight. India need 121 from 78 balls.
36th over: India 224-4 (Shreyas 39, Suryakumar 1) Suryakumar Yadav works his first ball off the pads to get off the mark.
WICKET! India 223-4 (Rahul c Carey b Starc 26)
The net is closing around India. Rahul slogs a Starc slower ball into outer space, and Carey steadies himself to take a good catch.
35th over: India 221-3 (Shreyas 38, Rahul 25) Shreyas edges Sangha through the vacant slip cordon for four, which brings up the fifty partnership from 48 balls. In normal circumstances that would be fine; today it has left India needing almost nine an over.
34th over: India 212-3 (Shreyas 33, Rahul 21) Starc returns to the attack. Rahul pulls towards deep square, where Maxwell saves two with a good stop, and then Labuschagne just misses the stumps with a throw from cover. It would have been touch and go for Shreyas had he hit.
Another boundaryless over, which is all Australia need to do. Since Maxwell took the crucial wicket of Rohit, India have scored only 68 in 13 overs.
33rd over: India 206-3 (Shreyas 32, Rahul 17) Sangha will learn so much today, some of it without realising. An LBW appeal is turned down when Rahul misses a sweep. Sangha signals that it was missing off, and he’s right, but Australia have no reviews left anyway.
Another very good over, just three from it. India’s required rate is 8.64 per over. But they have SKY, who on a good day can do that in a ball and a half.
32nd over: India 203-3 (Shreyas 31, Rahul 15) Cummins’ first ball is savaged over midwicket for four by Rahul. I used to think bowling in white-ball cricket was a bit like being a goalkeeper in a penalty shootout, with any success a bonus, but goalkeepers are rarely treated with such eye-widening contempt.
Cummins pulls the over back very well, conceding just three from the last five deliveries. Time for drinks. Australia need 150 runs from 108 balls.
31st over: India 196-3 (Shreyas 30, Rahul 9) That comment about boundaries being hard to find aged well: Shreyas Iyer has just pulled the new bowler Sangha over midwicket for six. The rest is ones and twos, which is enough to make it the first double-figure over since the 20th. Maybe the onslaught starts here.
30th over: India 185-3 (Shreyas 21, Rahul 7) Shreyas drags a slower ball from Cummins just past leg stump. As in the Australian innings, boundaries have been hard to score against the older, often slower ball. In the first 21 overs there were 10 fours and eight sixes; in the last nine overs we’ve had just two fours.
29th over: India 179-3 (Shreyas 17, Rahul 5) Maxwell’s dismissal of Rohit Sharma – when India were 144-1 in the 21st – is starting to feel like the pivotal moment. You can never sure, especially with Suryakumar Yadav to come, but for now Australia are on top.
28th over: India 172-3 (Shreyas 15, Rahul 0) Green’s doing a fine job here – just one from that over, and 23 from five so far. India need 181 from 132 balls.
Rahul is not out! Carey’s confidence was misplaced and Australia are all out of reviews. Rahul was too early on an attempted pull shot, but there was nothing on UltraEdge. A few of the players heard the noise, though I’ve no idea what it was.
Australia review for caught behind against Rahul! It’s their last review, but Alex Carey seems very confident.
27th over: India 171-3 (Shreyas 14, Rahul 0) The new batter is KL Rahul, who averages 72 in ODIs this year. Glenn Maxwell, meanwhile, has dreamy figures of 5-0-19-3. Before tonight he’d never taken two wickets in an ODI against India, never mind three. And he still has five overs remaining.
WICKET! India 171-3 (Kohli c Smith b Maxwell 56)
Glenn Maxwell might be winning this match off his own bat, or rather his own ball. He’s taken all three wickets, and this is another huge breakthrough. Kohli tried to hoick a shortish delivery over the legside and mistimed it over midwicket, where Smith backpedalled to take a superbly judged catch.
26th over: India 168-2 (Kohli 54, Shreyas 13) Hazlewood off, Green on, and Kohli goes to his fifty with a one-bounce blast down the ground. He has played with intimidating certainty, both in attack and defence: 56 balls, five fours, one six.
25th over: India 159-2 (Kohli 48, Shreyas 10) The wicket has slowed India down, as you’d expect. Maxwell hurries through another parismonious over to push the required rate closer to 8.
24th over: India 156-2 (Kohli 47, Shreyas 8) Shreyas drives Hazlewood over mid-off for two, though it would have been four but for a fine save by Warner. Every boundaryless over is a (very small) win for Australia; the required rate is 7.57.
