Bumrah strikes; Khawaja out for 57

December 26, 2024


Aus 154-2 (45 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Labuschagne watchfully defends against Jadeja, the first few balls he blocks from the crease before he strides out a bit too early but does well to defend.

Bumrah comes back into the attack. He strikes with the first ball of his new spell, getting the wicket of the well-set Khawaja.

The left-hander mistimes the pull shot hitting it straight into the hands of KL Rahul at midwicket to be dismissed for 57, ending the 65-run stand for the second wicket.

Bumrah accounts for Khawaja's wicket for the fifth time in this series.

The left-hander is done in by the lack of pace and ended up toe ending the pull shot to the fielder. Bumrah has a smile for the first time today after getting some stick earlier from Konstas.

Steve Smith shuffles across quite a bit to defend Bumrah on the off-side and leaves the next two. He gets the outside off the full delivery but again well short of Kohli at second slip.
