Team India had to face defeat in the second match of the T20 series against Australia. In this match played in Melbourne, Australia won the match within 14 overs after bowling out Team India for 125 runs. The star of Australia’s victory was fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, but captain Mitchell Marsh also made such an attack with his bat, which destroyed all the hopes of the Indian team. Especially during this period, Marsh also hit the longest six of the match, due to which the ball fell 124 meters away.

Australian captain Mitchell Marsh played a stormy innings in this match. Although he could not score his half-century, he entertained the fans by hitting some long sixes. One such shot came in the fourth over of the innings, when Harshit Rana was bowling. Harshit tried a bouncer on the fourth ball of the over, so that Marsh was also troubled in the same way as Indian batsmen were seen in trouble due to the bowling of Josh Hazlewood.

Harshit was punished for his mistake, hit a six

But this is where Rana made a mistake because Marsh loves to play sharp pull shots on short pitch balls. The Australian captain did the same again and as soon as the ball hit his bat, it was clear that it would fall straight outside the boundary for 6 runs. But hardly anyone would have thought that the ball would go so far. After the shot from Marsh’s bat, the ball fell among the spectators in the stands on the second floor of Melbourne Stadium. When its distance was measured after the replay, it came to 124 meters. This was the longest six of this match. Before him, Harshit had hit a six of 104 meters in the same match but Marsh hit this sixer on his own ball.

Australia’s easy win

Talking about the match, Hazlewood’s spell of 3 wickets in 4 overs shook the Indian innings and the team collapsed for just 125 runs in 18.4 overs. Abhishek Sharma played a quick inning of 68 runs for India, while Harshit also contributed 35 runs. Australia achieved this target on the basis of the innings of Captain Marsh and Travis Head by losing 6 wickets in 13.2 overs and thus took a 1-0 lead in the 5-match series. Marsh played an inning of 46 runs in just 26 balls, which included 4 long sixes.
