IND vs AUS 1st T20 Highlights: Cameron Green bats during the first T20

India vs Australia 1st T20 Highlights: Australia made a positive start in the three-match T20I series against India, winning the series opener by four wickets in Mohali on Tuesday evening. Cameron Green and Matthew Wade were the standout players from the Australian camp. The proceedings started with Australia captain Aaron Finch winning the toss and inviting India to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to make an impact and departed cheaply. However, KL Rahul continued his rich form. After smashing a fifty against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, the right-handed batter once again hit a 50-plus score. Suryakumar Yadav also chipped in with a crucial 25-ball 46. Hardik Pandya then closed the innings in some style, smashing a hattrick of sixes to help India reach 208/6 in 20 overs. Australia in response got off to a strong start with Finch and Green dealing in fours. However, Finch departed for 22(13) but Green continued the show with Steve Smith. The pair added a 50-plus stand and took the game away from India until the 10th over. India bounced back right after the halfway stage, with Axar Patel and Umesh Yadav leading the fightback. The spinner scalped three wickets in his four-over quota, while Yadav, who started on an expensive note, scalped two wickets in his return spell. However, a crucial partnership between Green and Tim David took the game away from the hosts. Green smashed 61 off 30 balls, while Wade returned unbeaten on 45 off 21 balls.
