RAJKOT: After India scored just two runs in the
first over and 53 in the six Powerplay overs while
chasing 201/7 (Australia scored 9 in the first
over and 74 in the first 6), it was evident that
the end will be close.
Scorecard
The track was a very good one to bat on so
chasing at 10 runs per over, if one had wickets in
hand, was lot easier than it would have been
otherwise.
The total actually gave India the opportunity to
show their batting depth and they did it in
style. Comeback man Yuvraj Singh's vintage stuff
(77 not out, 35b, 8x4, 5x6) helped India clinch a
thriller by six wickets in the lone T20 against the
visiting Australians in Kandheri near Rajkot on
Thursday.
MS Dhoni and Yuvraj together have won many
such battles for India in the past so when Virat
Kohli's dismissal in the 12th over brought them
together, it actually made things difficult for the
Aussies. Yuvraj is playing international cricket
after four months and one could see the hunger
in his eyes and his determination to keep going.
He didn't play a single false stroke, clearing the
ropes by miles or piercing the gap with the
precision of a surgeon.
Yuvraj and Dhoni put on 102 runs for the
unbroken fifth wicket as India won the match
quite convincingly in the end.
Earlier, Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl,
saying that since the track was under covers for
the last few days due to rain, it might have some
moisture and can help the bowlers early on.
There was a hint of swing once in a while but
the Aussies raced to 201/7. They wisely batted
around Aaron Finch who held the innings
together with 89 off 52 balls with 14 fours and
one six.
