Glenn Maxwell’s record-equalling ton steers tourists to victory
The way Wade controlled the other end and got me through the back end of my innings and he was brilliant out there. In what was a remarkable final over, and one that bowler Prasidh Krishna would want to forget, Maxwell struck a six from the third delivery and followed it with three fours to snatch victory. The fourth T20 takes place in Raipur on Friday, with the series concluding on Sunday in Bengaluru . Both sides are set to have less experienced squads for the rest of the series.
According to Deep Dasgupta
It all went by very quickly. The dew obviously makes it difficult to hold on to, we know that Bowl Yorkers find it difficult, to work hard on it. And there probably wasn’t a number in our head at the back end to set us to. We thought if we could stay in the hunt until the last over, we could give ourselves a chance, you never know it might come off the middle and you might stay in the game.
We did really well to stay in the game until the final over. Knowing that Axar had one over left meant Wade had to be out there to cash in and I was trying to take on all the pace bowlers and get the run rate under a little bit under control.

Surya Kumar was the only Indian player who featured in the World Cup final defeat against Australia nine days ago. And from Australia, World Cup winners Maxwell, Inglis, Marcus Stoinis, Steve Smith, Adam Zampa, and Sean Abbott will all return home, Head is only in India to play the T20 series. Wicketkeepers Josh Philippe and Ben McDermott, left-arm pace bowler Ben Dwarshuis, and off-spinner Chris Green will all link up with the squad for the remainder of the tour.
After the match Suryakumar says
We just wanted to get Maxi out quickly (laughs), that was the plan. But when you’re defending 222 with so much dew you have to give something to the bowlers. I felt like how we played at Trivandrum, there was heavy dew, they lost wickets early but wickets in hand for them meant they were always in the game. I told the boys in the drinks break to get Maxwell out quickly but that was insane.
I gave Axar the 19th over because he has bowled the 19th and 20th overs before so he’s experienced as well and I’ve always thought an experienced bowler in the end, even if a spinner, with heavy dew there’s always a chance. The fantastic knock from Gaikwad, he took the innings deep after I got out. I’ve always said in franchise cricket as well that he’s a special player and the way he batted, he showed it. I’m very proud of my boys.
