India vs Australia, 3rd T20I: Glenn Maxwell Recreates World Cup Heroic Knock As Australia Win By 5 Wickets

Glenn Maxwell recreated his World Cup knock against Afghanistan as he single-handedly guided Australia to a five-wicket victory in the third T20I at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. Maxwell's destructive mood spoiled the party for the Indian team in his 100th T20I game and made it even more special with an unbeaten 104 off 48 balls. He became the joint fastest Australian player to complete a century in the history of T20Is joining Aaron Finch and Josh Inglis

While chasing 223, Travis Head continued to ride high on confidence picking boundaries for fun after making his return to the field of cricket since Australia's World Cup triumph.

While opening along with Aaron Hardie, the left-handed batter played the first 12 consecutive balls and struck 25 runs. Hardie struck two boundaries in leg-break spinner Ravi Bishnoi's over.

Australia steamrolled in the first four overs amassing 46 runs. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh provided the breakthrough with a swinging delivery sending Hardie back with a score of 16(12).

Avesh Khan who came in to replace Mukesh Kumar scalped his first wicket of the night dismissing the dangerous-looking Head for a score of 35(18).

Bishnoi completely bamboozled Josh Inglis with a quick googly which zipped through the gap and clipped the bails off the stumps. Glenn Maxwell arrived at the crease and smashed Prasih Krishna all over the field to keep Australia on course of the mammoth chase.

Australia ended the first 10 overs with a score of 105/3.

Ravi Bishnoi's spin continued to cause trouble to Australia's batters as he sent Tim David back to the pavilion for a golden duck. But from that point, Maxwell channelled his inner self that guided Australia to victory against Afghanistan in the World
