12.1
Axar to Smith, FOUR, a massive top-edge on the sweep and the boundaries keep flowing - flighted delivery on off, Smith lunges forward and can't get on top of the bounce, placed it wide of backward square leg and Arshdeep can't reach to it, even with a big dive
Abhisheke: What a heavy contrast with the selection of team. WC team had 6 Right handed batsmen out of the top 7 and in this team we have 5 left handed batsmen out of the top 7.

Axar to Smith, FOUR, beautifully played. Smith shimmies down the pitch, gets right to the pitch of the ball and then swings through the line, back over the bowler's head and runs away to the ropes
10.1
Axar to Josh Inglis, 1 run, tossed up on middle and leg, worked in front of square on the on-side for a single
Axar Patel [2.0-0-13-0] is back into the attack
Time for drinks - has been an excellent start from Australia, Smith has dropped anchor and that has allowed Inglis to blaze away at the other end
Sakthivel: A hard pill to swallow a few days back but yeah, we got to move on! Looks an exciting Indian T20 team with a lot of young blood. Hope we find the right mix of players with just 6 months to go!
