India vs Australia 5th T20I Match Review: India won the match, but it was more like Australia lost the match, now some people might say that it was Arshdeep who won the match, but India should consider themselves lucky that they were able to defend it in the final over, now let’s go through the match. India batted first and had a bad start by losing 4 wickets in the first 10 overs for less than 60 runs on the board. Post that innings got a solid partnership between Jitesh and Axar which got India to a good total of 160 runs.
Australia got off to a better start in comparison to India and they had better 10 overs but still they lost wickets every few overs which made this chase very tough for them. But still they got very close owing to bad bowling by Indian fast bowlers specially Arshdeep and Avesh Khan.
Bad luck made them miss their mark, however, what has really hurt Australia is the form of Tim David and given most of the experienced Australian players were missing and Tim David could not finish the mark.
