India vs Australia 1st ODI: India's Mohammed Shami takes five wickets to limit Australia to 276
Mohali, September 22: India's Mohammed Shami claimed a five-wicket haul, limiting Australia to a total of 276 in the first match of the three-game ODI series held in Mohali on Friday.
Among the Australian batsmen, David Warner was the standout performer with a 50, while Josh Inglis contributed significantly with a score of 45. Shami achieved his five-wicket haul while conceding 51 runs. Additionally, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja each secured one wicket for the Indian team.
In the first innings, Australia found themselves losing their initial wicket early when Mitchell Marsh was caught at first slip by Shubman Gill off a delivery by Mohammed Shami. Following his recovery from injury, Steve Smith rejoined the team and, alongside David Warner, managed to put up a 50-run partnership for the team within 12 overs.
Warner made 50 in 49 balls in the 16th over, however, he could not take his team to the 100-run mark as he got dismissed by Jadeja’s spin bowling. He scored 52 off 53 balls. Quickly, Mohammed Shami cleared up Smith who was batting at 41 off 60 balls.
After getting a solid start, Marnus Labuschagne did not convert it to a longer inning as Ashwin bowled him in the 33rd over.
Shami took his third wicket dismissing Marcus Stoinis at 29 off 21 balls. In the next over, Jasprit Bumrah opened his account by clearing up Josh Inglis at 45 off 45 balls.
In the penultimate over, Shami dismissed Matthew Short with an off-cutter after Suryakumar Yadav caught him at over mid-wicket and after the next ball, Sean Abbott was cleared up with a slower ball to clinch a five-wicket haul.
India restricted Australia to 276 after bundling out the whole team on the last ball.
