what a performance by colter-nile and stoinis. now the host side is struggling on the pitch. already they have lost thier top five batsmen. now total India should depend on former captain. if MS Dhoni can stay on the pitch for a long a time then India will be able to score two hundred runs plus. so I predict that India will score at best 220.
First time I thought that this match would be 230/240. But, the match changed dramatically. MS Dhoni changed this system, undoubtedly he is a great player for Indian team. Dhoni and Pandya have played extraordinary. Congratulations, MS as he has become the fourth Indian Cricket Team player to hit 100 international fifties.
It will be very tough for India in ODIs after Dhoni retires because we can clearly see how other players are failing at times but Dhoni isn't . He let Hardik play and just took singles till he got out and at the end he smashed fours and sixes to get to a decent total .
Yes India really has a great treasure with them, Mr. Dhoni is really a class player, showing the young chaps how to hold the game. Its for him India could put a good score in the scoreboard. And now the bowlers showed some tremendous action, I thought Australia would win, but some miracle did happen for the Indian Cricket Team.
No miracle needed India won this match by 26 runs. Match delayed because of rain and the match reduced to 21 overs the target is 164 runs. Indian bowlers bowled excellently and made AUS to lose this game by 26 runs. Yup today Dhoni and Hardhik played very responsible innings, and Hardhik took 2 main wickets at an early stage. AUS made just 137/9 runs in 21 overs.
Yes, that was a clinical performance by the team India; terrific all round performance by the young Hardik Pandya. Once again Dhoni and Pandya showed their masterclass; big hitting by pandya and cool inning by Dhoni, it was a perfect finish for the inning. At one point, India was struggling at 87 for 5 wickets, but the partnership between Dhoni-Jadhav and later on between Dhoni-Pandya changed the game. Even after D/W , Indian bowlers made sure to keep the Australian batsman in control and created the pressure by picking the wickets at regular intervals. Now, India has taken a lead by 1-0 in this series, Australia has to work really hard to level the series first and then to take a lead.
