Aussies bat cautiously
December 15, 2024 06:37Aus 62-2 (28 Ovs) vs India | Scorecard
Siraj continues, and Labuschagne pushes for a single. Smith leaves the next ball, then sends the following one back to the bowler. The bouncer sails over the keeper's head, giving away five wides. Smith defends the next ball and takes a single off the one after. Labuschagne blocks the final ball of the over. Seven runs come off it, and after 27 overs, Australia is 62-2.
Reddy comes on and bowls a maiden over to Smith, who defends solidly throughout.
Australia has done well to only lose two wickets, especially with India having every advantage from the conditions. The question now is, can Reddy and Siraj maintain the pressure?
