Australia off to a fine start
December 14, 2024 06:00Aus 4-0 (2 Ovs) vs India | Scorecard
The pre-match ceremony begins with Matthew Hayden and Zaheer Khan presenting the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The two teams then take the field and line up for the national anthems.
India form a huddle before dispersing to their positions as Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja stride to the middle. With Khawaja on strike, Jasprit Bumrah prepares to bowl the first delivery with the new ball, he has three slips and a gully for Khawaja. Batter defends the first. Off the thigh and ball will travel to the ropes for four runs, legbye called.
Khawaja leaves the next few deliveries. Just four came off the first over.
Siraj comes from the other end. And he's booed by the Australia fans again. Looks like this is what started at Adelaide would go on.
Again three slips and a gully for Siraj too. McSweeney defends the first and leaves the next. He continues to defend Siraj's first over. Maiden over for Siraj.
