OUT! Bowled. Hardik Pandya to Adam Zampa. Seaming in length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, missed. All out! Australia posted a defendable total on the board after being elected to bat. Cooper Connolly, the new batter, had a disappointing outing, getting out without scoring. Travis Head showcased an aggressive style, accumulating 39 runs. In a standout performance, Steven Smith excelled with an impressive 73 runs, while Alex Carey contributed significantly by scoring his half-century. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja both did an excellent job by taking two key wickets each. Mohammed Shami picked up three wickets.
