After winning the toss and opting to bowl first, Australia quickly capitalized on their decision. India’s batting lineup faced a nightmare start, losing their first five wickets within the first eight overs, a testament to Australia’s aggressive bowling attack.
Key Performers for India
While India was rapidly losing wickets, Abhishek Sharma emerged as a beacon of hope, scoring a commendable 68 runs. His innings stood out amidst the chaos, providing a glimpse of resilience that India desperately needed. Alongside him, Harshit Rana’s unexpected promotion to number 7 resulted in a crucial 35 runs, but ultimately, India was bundled out for just 125 runs in 18.4 overs.
