India's Dinesh Karthik is enjoying the finisher's role, the 37-year-old said, after his breezy cameo helped secure his side's 68-victory against West Indies in the first Twenty20 International on Friday.
India captain Rohit Sharma became the leading run scorer in T20 Internationals as he guided his team to a comprehensive win in the first T20 against the West Indies on Friday.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma wants his batters to "carry on longer" and convert their starts into substantial scores. Rohit, and then Dinesh Karthik, lifted India to a competitive 190 from an uncomfortable 138 for six in the 16th over, a total which proved enough for the visitors to record a 68-run win in the first T20 International against the West Indies. While Rohit set up the platform with a 44-ball-64, it was Karthik's calculated assault -- an unbeaten 41 off 19 balls -- that powered India in the final stages of their innings on a track with spongy bounce, and a little bit of turn and grip.
A huge upset looked to be on the cards when Renuka dismantled Australia’s famed top order of Alysaa Healy (0), Beth Mooney (10), skipper Meg Lanning (8) and Tahilia McGrath (14) in quick succession, leaving them tottering at 34/4 in the fifth over. However, bouncing back from the early setbacks in tremendous fashion, the seven-time ODI and current T20 world champions then showed why they are the true, unbeatable ‘superpower’ of women’s cricket. Slamming a match-winning half-century, Ashleigh Gardner (52 not out, 35b, 9x4), Grace Harris (37, 20b, 5x4, 2x6) and No. 9 Alana King (18 not out, 16b, 3x4) displayed the might of Australia’s batting depth, as the gold-medal favourites cantered to the target with an over to spare.
