India Dominate Bowling Powerplay as Rohit Smashes Half-Century Against Australia
India are off to a blistering start in their 100-ball cricket match against Australia in St Lucia, with Rohit Sharma leading the charge with a remarkable 19-ball half-century.
After Australian captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and opted to field, Rohit Sharma wasted no time in taking the attack to the Australian bowlers. He smashed multiple sixes off the bowling of Mitchell Starc, helping India get off to a flying start.
However, the early dismissal of Virat Kohli, who was caught by Tim David off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood, brought Rishabh Pant to the crease at number 3.
“Rohit is just in sublime form, he’s taking the game away from Australia already,” said the commentator.
The match is being played in St Lucia, where the weather has been described as “blustery” but otherwise fine.
Australia will need to win this match to keep their semi-final hopes alive, as they suffered a shock loss to Afghanistan earlier in the tournament. Meanwhile, India have already qualified for the semi-finals, along with England and South Africa.
