India vs Australia 2020 Highlights, 3rd ODI Match at Canberra, Full Cricket Score: Virat Kohli and Co register 13-run win, hosts take series 2-1

After 49 overs,Australia 288/9 ( Adam Zampa 4 , Josh Hazlewood 6)

Surprising move by Kohli to bring Shardul ahead of Bumrah in the 49th over. Starts off with a dot, and then a full delivery outside off, which goes for a single. A low full toss off the third, Hazlewood drives it through covers for a double. Three singles off the last three balls. Tidy stuff from Shardul. Australia need 15 runs from 6 balls.

After 48 overs,Australia 282/9 ( Adam Zampa 2 , Josh Hazlewood 2)

Natarajan into his final over and the 48th of the innings. Removes Agar, who holes out to Kuldeep at deep extra cover. Just four runs and a wicket in the over. Superb over by the left arm seamer. Australia need 21 runs in 12 balls.

After 47 overs,Australia 278/8 ( Ashton Agar 28 , )

Shardul Thakur has been called back into the attack. Starts off with a length ball, gets lucky there as the Abbott only sneaks a single. Bowls a wide full toss off the second, and once again, proves to be lucky as Agar only manages a single. A yorker off the fifth, the seamer appeals for LBW, but the umpire isn’t interested. A short one to end the over that takes an edge off Abbott’s bat and carries to the wicketkeeper. Four runs and a wicket in the over.

After 46 overs,Australia 274/7 ( Ashton Agar 26 , Sean Abbott 2) 

Right, Natarajan into his penultimate over and the 46th over of the innings. Let’s see what he can do. Agar powers the first towards mid off for a single, before Abbott plays out three consecutive dots. A single and a double off the last two balls. Just four runs off the over. What a comeback from Natarajan. Remember, he gave 18 runs in his last over. Australia need 29 runs from 24 balls.

After 45 overs,Australia 270/7 ( Ashton Agar 23 , Sean Abbott 1)

Bumrah has been called back into the attack. Shami is not playing and the inexperienced Natarajan has been taken to the cleaners, so Bumrah has to weave his magic here. And he does just that as he cleans up Maxwell with an inch-perfect yorker off the third delivery. Ends the over with another yorker against Agar. Six runs and a wicket in the over. Australia need 33 runs from 30 balls.

After 44 overs,Australia 264/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 58 , Ashton Agar 21)

Natarajan into the 44th over. This is where he has been mighty effective, the death overs. But not this time as Maxwell smacks him for a six and four, bringing up his fifty in the process. Agar shows he can bat too as he cuts the fourth through point for a boundary. 18 runs off the over. Australia are very much in the game.

After 43 overs,Australia 246/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 46 , Ashton Agar 16)

Kuldeep Yadav into his last over. Tosses up the third and Maxwell nails the switch hit. The explosive right hander got full value for his shot as that was a six. The batsmen beautifully rotated strike in that over too, collecting a double and four singles. 12 runs off the over. Australia need 57 runs in 42 balls.

After 42 overs,Australia 234/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 38 , Ashton Agar 12)

Bumrah into the 42nd over of the innings. Agar works the first ball through the leg side for a single. Bowls the next way down the leg side, a wide, before bowling a dot. Just two runs off the last four deliveries. The speedster ended the over with a slower bouncer that took Maxwell by surprise. Just four runs off the over. Australia need 69 runs from 48 balls.

After 41 overs,Australia 230/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 37 , Ashton Agar 10)

Superb over from Kuldeep as he only concedes three runs off it, and that too at this stage of the game. India need more overs like these. But a wicket will be more effective. Australia need 73 runs from 54 balls.

After 40 overs,Australia 227/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 36 , Ashton Agar 8)

Natarajan has been called back into the attack. The left arm seamer starts off with a short one against Maxwell, who pulls it towards deep mid wicket for a single. Agar returns the favour off the next. Natarajan bowls a perfect yorker off the fourth, but the ball takes an inside edge of Agar’s bat and finds the fence. Maxwell plays the late cut and collects a boundary off the last delivery. 14 runs off the over.

After 39 overs,Australia 213/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 28 , Ashton Agar 2)

Thakur into the 39th over of the innings. And he does a good job, restricting the batsmen to only two runs. Australia have lost more than half their side. But if Maxwell stays till the end, Aussies will win it comfortably. That’s why India cannot afford to take the foot off the gas in this dead rubber. Australia need 90 runs from 66 balls.

After 38 overs,Australia 211/6 ( Glenn Maxwell 27 , Ashton Agar 1)

Jadeja into his last over. Maxwell is fully aware of it and takes the attack to the all-rounder as he goes over the infield for a boundary. A brainfade for Carey, who runs himself out. Tidy last over from Jadeja, six runs and a wicket there.

After 37 overs,Australia 205/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 38 , Glenn Maxwell 22)

Thakur has been called back into the attack. Maxwell is looking dangerous and that has taken the load of Carey’s shoulders. This partnership is starting to consolidate nicely for the hosts. Eight runs off the over.

After 36 overs,Australia 197/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 34 , Glenn Maxwell 19)

Jadeja bowls his ninth over and gets smacked for two consecutive sixes from the blade of Maxwell. Just a display of brute force from Mad Max! A slog sweep followed by a powerful pull shot. 14 runs off the over. That will release pressure.

After 35 overs,Australia 183/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 33 , Glenn Maxwell 6)

Bumrah into the 35th over. Concedes three off the first four, a wide included, before Carey pulls him for a boundary. A dot to end the over. Seven runs off the over.

After 34 overs,Australia 176/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 28 , Glenn Maxwell 5)

We’re back after the drinks break and Jadeja takes the ball. Concedes three of the first four, courtesy some disciplined bowling. On the fifth, Carey moves towards the leg side, creates room and powers the ball down the ground for a boundary. A single off the last. Eight runs off the over.

After 33 overs,Australia 168/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 22 , Glenn Maxwell 3)

Bumrah back into the attack. Maxwell picks up a single off the first. Carey almost plays on to the stumps off the second but still sneaks a single. The third one was way too short and signalled wide by the umpire. Three runs off the last four balls. Bumrah has bowled well but he hasn’t reaped the benefits of it thus far. Just six runs off the over. Australia need 135 runs in 17 overs. And we head into the drinks break!

After 32 overs,Australia 162/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 19 , Glenn Maxwell 1)

Natarajan is back. India would love to get the wicket of Maxwell as he can change the game in a span of five overs. Australia are on the backfoot, but still they have depth in the batting line up. The left-arm seamer concedes only three runs. Could have been two had he not bowled a wide.

After 31 overs,Australia 159/5 ( Alex Carey (W) 18 , Glenn Maxwell 0)

Kuldeep continues. Green collects a boundary off the second, before hitting one straight to Jadeja at deep square leg and leaving the Aussies in a spot of bother. Eight runs and a wicket in the over.
