Australia pulled off a heist at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. The Men in Yellow chased the massive total of 209 runs to score a win by four wickets and take a lead of 1-0 in the three-match series.
It was a wholesome show with the bat by the Aussies and the skipper Aaron Finch is extremely pleased with the performance.
The Mohali pitch stayed true to its nature, as the bowlers had a poor day in the middle. Batting in the first innings, India managed a big score of 208 despite losing their two wickets early in the form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Hardik Pandya was absolutely lethal as he played a terrific knock of 71 runs off 30 balls. KL Rahul also flaunted his class with a 35-ball 55.
