Score0 - 1

Glenn Maxwell to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! Rahul holes out in the first over. Maxwell with an early success for the Aussies. He bowls this short and on middle, Rahul goes for the pull but he doesn't time it that well. It goes to the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Smith there makes no mistake. 2-ball duck for Rahul. Exactly what it was for the Aussie skipper and one of their openers.

Glenn Maxwell to KL Rahul, Flatter and just outside off from Maxwell. Rahul pushes it towards cover.

15:48 (IST) Dec 08

Right then, we are back for the chase. The Indian openers step out to the middle. KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan it is. The Australian players step out to the middle and take their positions on the field as well. Glenn Maxwell will open with the ball for the Aussies. Here he comes... 

15:47 (IST) Dec 08

He says that his teammates were really happy after he won the game for the team. Tells that he was lucky to be able to do that. On him changing bat in the closing overs, Pandya says that he has been trying to figure out which bat he should be using. Adds luckily got the bat he was playing during the lockdown and it worked for him. On his chance of playing in Tests, Hardik tells that he has plans to go back home and see his family and he will stick to that plan.

15:45 (IST) Dec 08

Right! India chased down 195 in the last game. They need 187 here to whitewash the Aussies. Their batters are in a good nick and with someone as good in form as Hardik Pandya, lower down the order, they will back themselves to scale this down. Will they be able to do so or will Australia manage to win this game and avoid the whitewash. Run chase coming up shortly. But before that, let's hear from Hardik Pandya.

15:41 (IST) Dec 08

Indians were once again disappointing with the ball and in the field. The dropped catches and a wicket off the no ball didn't help their cause either. Sundar did well in his 4-over spell, picking two wickets and giving 34. Chahal and Shardul were taken to the cleaners by Maxwell and Wade. Natarajan was once again pretty decent as he gave 33 in his 4 overs with 11 coming from the final over. He got the big wicket of Maxwell too.
