Aaron Finch reserved special praise for the spin duo of Adam Zampa and Mitchell Swepson for the courage they showed to take on the India batsman. Swepson took three wickets and was named the Man of the Match for his performance. Zampa sealed the win for Australia by taking the important wicket of Hardik Pandya.
Aaron Finch pleased as Australia get consolation win over India
Finch celebrated a welcome return to the side as Australia beat India in the third T20I by 12 runs. After being sent in to bat first by India, Australia posted a total of 186/5 with Matthew Wade hitting a career-best total of 80 runs.
India lost KL Rahul early on, but with Virat Kohli looking in ominous form, they looked set for a series sweep. However, Finch’s troops kept picking up wickets at regular intervals, leaving Pandya and Kohli with too much to do in the final three overs. After the two in-form players were dismissed, Australia wrapped up the win with ease.
The Australian and Indian cricket teams will now turn their attention to the four-match Test series, which gets underway on December 17th.
