Shami has been on fire throughout the match, completely dashing the Australian batting order through his brilliant spell in mid-overs. He has taken three wickets at the cost of 17 runs, bowling two maiden overs out of the six overs he has bowled.
The Australian side was looking well to go until the departure of Mitch Marsh, who smashed 81 runs in mere 65 balls, but after his departure, the host’s batting fell like a pack of cards and were bowled out for mere 188 runs in 35.4 overs.
On the other side, Mohammad Siraj was also instrumental, taking three wickets in 5.4 overs, giving 29 runs and a maiden.
Shami’s consistent performances are cultivating a spot for him in the upcoming WTC final. The hosts have established complete command in the first ODI, and the credit goes to the exceptional bowling.
The ongoing series is vital as the ICC World Cup 2023 is not so far now, as it is to be played in India, and some good performances will straightly pave the way for the young players into the respective squads for their teams for WC.
It is the first ODI that the Indian team is playing under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, and he would be delighted with how things have gone so far. All he will be focusing now is to win this match and establish the lead in the 3-match ODI series.
