🏏India vs Australia ODI Series: 3rd ODI on 22/03/23, Chennai🏏 - Page 4

Hardik to Smith, OUT

Pandya has two. And Smith is walking back. Tries another big booming drive, and this is not a slower one. It holds its line against the angle. Well this is not even a seam-up delivery, but still changes direction upon pitching. Smith is driving for the angle, and gets an outside edge through to KL Rahul

Hardik Pandya to Smith, out Caught by Rahul!! Hardik Pandya is turning it around and he is cock-a-hoop! Gets his second wicket in his second over. This is the 5th time Hardik Pandya has dismissed Smith in ODIs. Smith c Rahul b Hardik Pandya 0(3)

Hardik Pandya to Smith, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Hardik to Marsh, 2 runs

Nearly a third wicket for Pandya. Marsh looking to pull over midwicket, but seems like the ball has hurried onto him. He ends up hitting it much straighter than he wants to, but still falls just wide of long-on

AUS 77/2 (13)

CRR: 5.92

Australia opt to bat

Australia (14/50 ov) 80/2

India

Current RR: 5.71

• Last 5 ov (RR): 20/2 (4.00)

Hardik to Marsh, OUT

Timber. Pandya has three in three overs. Marsh misses a fifty for the first time this series. Doesn't look like a slower ball. Looks to drive a length ball outside off, gets an inside edge onto the stumps

Mitchell Marsh b Pandya 47 (47b 8x4 1x6) SR: 100

Pandya on a roll. All 3 wickets to him.

Australia (14.3/50 ov) 85/3

India

Australia chose to bat.

Current RR: 5.86

• Last 5 ov (RR): 25/3 (5.00)

Australia seemed to have read the conditions when they chose to bat and maximised the powerplay, but have perhaps not readjusted their approach past the powerplay. All three wickets have fallen to forceful shots. Pandya continues

Ishan Kishan is keeping wicket. KL Rahul is off the field
