Australia’s third game saw them take on India at The Oval. Australia still remaining unchanged won the toss and elected to bat. Warner and Finch again both fell early - Australia 2/44 after the powerplay. Khawaja batted brilliantly alongside Smith and Stoinis and brought up Australia’s first 100 of the tournament at quick pace, Australia were eventually bowled out for 281 in the 46th over, a great bowling display carried by Jasprit Bumrah’s 3-50 as well as a direct hit from the boundary to remove Glenn Maxwell.
India came out in reply and Shikhar Dhawan was knocked over by a trademark Mitchell Starc yorker in the first over. This brought Kholi to the crease who played a gem of a knock (116 off 89), with Sharma chipping in with 49, and Shreyas Iyer also picked up a very slow 51. Jadeja came in with India needing 9 an over and was brutal with his assault towards Cummins and Starc at the death, and on the third last ball managed an inside edge for 4, giving India the victory.
