🏏Ind vs. Aus 2023: 3rd T20I: November 28th 2023, Guwahati 🏏 - Page 37

Maxwell has done something only he can do again tonight! He's due to fly back home after this game and he's given his side a parting gift of a win before heading off. Australia were always in the chase, in fact they were ahead of India throughout and a bit of magic from Maxwell got them through when things got tight. Head and Hardie got them off to a brisk start and while there was a bit of a slump in the middle with a couple of wickets falling, Maxwell kept the momentum going. Matthew Wade played an important hand too right towards the end and Maxwell got to his century in the last over. Spare a thought for Prasidh Krishna, he was given the toughest task of the night - had to defend 21 off the last over to Maxwell with an extra fielder in the ring. An absolute run-feast today, 447 runs were scored tonight and Australia come up clutch to keep the series alive 2-1.

Exactly

What's the need for that appeal

Would have still been a wide and run and they would have anyway hit that 6 next ball

Maxwell s 100 th T20 game for Australia looks like.

Fuking UNBELIEVABLE MAXI..... He can do anything 😂

Finally he took his revenge from last match.

When he did it in Mumbai, the crowd at Wankhede absolutely loved it because they first saw some great bowling from Afghanistan and then a knock of a lifetime from Maxwell. But today this crowd in Guwahati is left stunned and their entire week has been spoilt by the same man in such similar fashion. How crucial was that one extra fielder in the circle for the last over? Massive handshakes and ear-to-ear smiles in the Australian dugout because they keep the series alive and that's the parting gift for them from Maxwell. Some records tumbled, obviously:

India would've been very happy at the halfway stage, a scintillating century from Ruturaj Gaikwad got them past 220 once again. Conditions were great for batting and India got a massive boost towards the end - the final over bowled by Maxwell went for 30. As it turns out though, it wasn't quite enough with Maxwell being in a destructive mood. He overshadowed Gaikwad's knock with a century of his own and remedied his errors with the ball.

Maxwell equals Rohit's record for most T20I hundreds.

Prasidh broke record for most runs conceded by an Indian bowler in a men's T20I.

Jason Behrendorff: It's remarkable, main thing is we got the win. Don't have too many words at the moment after what just unfolded. It's a happy hunting ground, have played here twice. Haven't gone for too many runs. It swung early on, so I took advantage of the conditions. Want to win the series ideally and we are one step closer to that. We need to take that momentum going forward. I'll give it (Player of the Match) to Maxi, he got us over the line, also it's his 100th T20I game
