India vs Australia 3rd T20I, Glenn Maxwell‘s breathtaking unbeaten century, tallying 104 runs from just 48 balls, steered Australia to a remarkable victory, chasing down India’s formidable target of 223.
Despite Ruturaj Gaikwad‘s explosive century and a spirited partnership with Tilak Varma, India’s innings at 222/3 fell short in the face of Maxwell’s heroics. Gaikwad’s unbeaten 123 off 57 balls, supported by Varma’s 39 off 29, anchored India’s innings, witnessing a commendable 141-run stand in just 59 balls.
Australia, facing a mammoth target, lost wickets at intervals but managed to stay within reach of the required run rate. Maxwell, exhibiting sheer dominance, almost single-handedly powered the chase, receiving support from Captain Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis. In a nail-biting finish, Maxwell sealed the win with a six and three fours, culminating in an unbeaten century that sealed Australia’s victory.
India’s strong start with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan‘s quick fall was recovered by Suryakumar Yadav and Gaikwad’s partnership. However, Maxwell’s final-over onslaught in India’s innings set the stage for a thrilling Australian chase, ultimately showcasing Maxwell’s masterful innings as the game-changer.
