India vs Australia Warm-UP Highlights- India win by 6 runs: Brilliant last over from Mohammad Shami (3/4) and fantastic 19th over from Harshal Patel helped India beat Australia by 6 runs in the 1st warm-up clash. While Australia seemed to be cruising with Aaron Finch smashing 79, the complexion changed in the last two overs. Australia lost 6 wickets in the last 12 deliveries to hand the match to India. Earlier, Suryakumar Yadav and KL Rahul smashed 50s to help India post 186/7.
Chasing 187, Aaron Finch gave Australia a brilliant start. With Mitchell Marsh, he brought up 64-run stand, keeping Australia in cruise control. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed Marsh and soon Steve Smith departed, Australia still continued to plunder with Glenn Maxwell and Finch taking charge. The two added 48 runs to take Australia almost through.
Finch in lethal form destroyed Arshdeep Singh as he slammed the Indian bowler for 17 runs in the 14th over of the innings. Finch also brought up his fifty while hammering Indian bowlers all around the ground. At this point, no Indian bowlers were able to restrict Australian batters from smashing runs.
