Axar to Wade, FOUR runs Too full for Wade and he absolutely moves it through the blankets, also beating a long jumper for four!
18.2
Axar to Wade, 2 runs Short and towards the hips, Wade pushes it away towards long leg and Tilak Varma does very well to cover ground to his left and save two.
18.3
From Axar to Wade, FOUR runs A little more SKY for four more! Outside off, Wade frees his arms with hard hands again, and the ball simply evades a SKY who leaps into cover to find the gap in the deep.
18.4
Axar to Wade, (no ball) Wide outside to try to beat Wade’s bat, and he does beat his bat. It’s called wide, but Kishan has quickly removed the bails and they are now checking for any knocks. First of all, there is no advantage, following the protocol. Wade’s back foot goes out of the box as he misses the ball, but Kishan’s collection is such that the third umpire says that his gloves are not completely behind the stumps, so that is not legal and is considered un- ball.
18.4
Axar to Wade, SIX runs towards Fuller now towards Wade, kneels and lobs him so high towards the sky on the leg side, smoking him for a longer six!
18.5
Axar to Wade, 1 run at 95 kmh, now he doesn’t have the length or width, Wade swings again but mistimes it to wait for one.
18.6
Axar to Maxwell, 4 byes He beats Maxwell’s bat but Kishan misses it and goes for four byes! Outside off, Maxwell backhands, the ball goes under the bat and Kishan raises his hand to apologize after missing that.
22 from the last over, they need 21 more. However, Prasidh’s last over gave India a lot of confidence. India are behind over-rate so only four fielders in the deep
19.1
Prasidh to Wade, FOUR runs It starts with a short ball at 135.5 kmh and Wade will happily take it because there is pace on the ball, fine leg is in the deep and he can bowl that late to send it crashing into the leg boundary. long.
19.2
Prasidh to Wade, 1 run. It is slower at 122.4 kmh almost in the hole of the block and Wade intermediates the elevated drive, although it does not reach deep coverage.
19.3
Prasidh to Maxwell, SIX runs. He’s too wide on the off side, has too much space to free his arms and waits before cutting it just over Rinku Singh’s head at deep cover. The location of the field was correct, but the connection even better.
19.4
Prasidh to Maxwell, FOUR runs The crowd can’t believe it, that’s four more! Short and wide, cuts so late and although the connection didn’t look good enough this time, it was enough to beat a third behind the square who was running at full speed.
Mathew Wade and Glenn Maxwell added 91 off 40 balls to lead Australia to victory•BCCI
19.5
Prasidh to Maxwell, FOUR runs Maxwell hits another impressive century! It’s a full throw (although it was above the waist) and Maxwell won’t let that go. He lifts it towards leg and finds the space between long-on and deep-wicket to send it to the boundary for four.
Two to win, one to Super Over. Gaikwad, Kishan, SKY and Prasidh in a conference now, Axar also joins them. Maxwell and Wade take off their helmets to breathe. Some fans have their faces buried in their hands, others are biting their nails, others are praying, others are standing.
19.6
Prasidh to Maxwell, FOUR runs Maxwell has done it and surprised the crowd! Full, straight, and Maxwell sends it back straight over the player’s head to run into Wade’s embrace with a huge smile that hasn’t left him since the fifties.
