Maxwell’s 104* trumps Gaikwad’s 123* as Australia maintain sequence alive

Australia 225 for five (Maxwell 104*, Head 35, Wade 28*, Bishnoi 2-32) beat India 222 for 3 (Gaikwad 123*, Suryakumar 39, Tilak 31) by 5 wickets

Ruturaj Gaikwad slammed an unbeaten 123 to steer India to an imposing 222 in Guwahati, however Glenn Maxwell’s unbeaten 104 surprised the hosts as Australia pulled off a miraculous come-from-behind victory to maintain the T20I sequence alive at 2-1.

Australia had stored tempo with the asking charge for a lot of the innings courtesy a spunky cameo from Travis Head and Maxwell’s aggression. When it got here all the way down to Axar Patel’s nineteenth and Prasidh’s twentieth, Maxwell and Matthew Wade feasted in dewy situations, discovering the boundary at will even when Australia wanted 43 off 12 balls, 21 off six, and two off the final ball. Maxwell hit the final 4 balls for six, 4, 4, 4, drilling Prasidh Krishna down the bottom on the end to silence the house crowd.
