Australia vs India: Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja Star As India Survive Glenn Maxwell Assault To Win Third ODI | Cricket News

India survived a lower-order reprise from Glenn Maxwell (59) and Ashton Agar (28) to register their first win on the tour of Australia, beating the hosts by 13 runs in Canberra on Wednesday in the third and final ODI. With Australia chasing a target of 303 with just four wickets in hand and 93 runs to get in 12 overs, the game looked to be titled in India’s favour but some remarkable power-hitting by Maxwell and deft touches by Agar brought the hosts back in the hunt but some consistent bowling from the Indians, helped with some good fielding, ensured that India closed out the win in the last over.
Maxwell took debutant T Natarajan for a six and a four in an 18-run 44th over after having accumulated 14 in the 40th, also off Natarajan, to keep Australia in sight of the target.
However, Jasprit Bumrah clean bowled Maxwell in the 45th and debutant T Natarajan got Agar caught at extra cover in the 48th to kill the contest in the last five.
With 15 needed off the last over with one wicket in hand, Bumrah trapped Adam Zampa lbw on the third ball to bowl Australia out for 289.
