Washington Sundar Gives A Big Blow To Australia
Finch is known for taking the charge against the spinner. But Washington Sundar had already bowled a lot against the Aussie captain during the Indian Premier League 2020 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. So, the off-spinner was well aware of the weakness.
Firstly, Deepak Chahar was given the ball by Virat Kohli to lead the bowling attack. He was smashed for 9 runs off Matthew Wade in the first over. Although, the 28-year-old created some chances but ended up with no wicket in his first over. The Men in Blue captain then introduced a spinner from the other bowling end. This trick worked in the favor of Team India and Sundar dismissed dangerous batsman Aaron Finch on the 4th delivery of his game.
He bowled a quicker one outside off stump and the batsman tried to take the charge in search of a boundary. But, he failed in getting his timing right and was caught by Hardik Pandya standing inside the 30-yard circle. This is the first wicket of Washington Sundar in the ongoing T20I series.
Currently, Steve Smith and Matthew Wade are batting for Australia at a score of 26 runs in 3.3 overs. Let’s see if Indian bowlers will come up with another good effort or not in the upcoming overs.
