A superb Republic Day for India in Adelaide, first, the ladies chased down their highest ever T20I score to stun Australia. Then, the men followed, put up a spirited effort to upstage Australia by 37 runs.
The hosts were off to a flier, Warner and Finch meant business, right from the first ball. They were helped along by some ordinary bowling by Ashwin. Bumrah came in and provided the visitors with some relief, Warner fell for 17. Steve Smith and Finch looked in cruise control, until the former was sent back by Jadeja. It was followed by a dramatic collapse. 4 wickets went down in quick succession. The late order had too much to do and ended up throwing their wickets in the process.
