The Indian middle-order crumbled during the death overs but you cannot take any credit away from the Australian bowlers who kept the Indian batsmen at bay and took crucial wickets.

Kane Richardson, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Pat Cummins bowled brilliantly. Richardson dismissed the settled Kedar Jadhav before getting the key wicket of MS Dhoni with a crafty slower delivery.

Cummins got the crucial wicket of Manish Pandey who was batting aggressively and could have posed a threat during the final overs, while Nathan Coulter-Nile finished the match for the Aussies by dismissing Axar Patel.

In an era where scoring 53 runs from 30 balls is not very difficult, the Australian bowlers deserve a pat on their back for conceding just over a run-a-ball.
