Cameron Green, who came out to open for the first time in T20 International, played brilliant and match-winning innings in the Mohali T20 match against India. The Australian all-rounder credited opening partner Aaron Finch for maintaining his composure at the crease. Because he opened for the first time in international T20. After playing a match-winning innings in the first T20I of the three-match series against India, the all-rounder said that he saw the Indian batsmen play and it gave him an idea to play his innings better.
The all-rounder said, "We got a chance to watch Team India's batting and Hardik must be one of the best, as he does on the field. Glad to see him. It was nice to see him bat and it gives us an idea of how to bat while chasing."
Green, who opened for the first time, was nervous but praised Finch, who stayed at the other end of the wicket. It helped to keep his mind calm.
The Australian opener said, "The first time I was sent to the opening, I was a little nervous, but as an experienced player it was better to have someone like Finchy, he kept me calm."
Australia defeated India by four wickets with four balls to spare in the T20I match before Matthew Wade's unbeaten knock of 45 off 21 balls followed the half-century from Cameron Greene (61 runs). The fielding of the Indian team was very disappointing in which the team dropped three catches. Apart from the fielding in this defeat, the bowling was also poor. Except for Axar Patel, everyone conceded runs.
Apart from half-centuries from all-rounder Hardik Pandya (71 not out) and opener KL Rahul (55 runs), Suryakumar Yadav (46 runs) helped India post a massive total of 208 for six after being invited to bat. But Australia scored 211 for six in 19.2 overs with the help of Green's half-century, Steve Smith's 35, and Wade's unbeaten 45 off 21 balls with six fours and two sixes in a four-wicket win in the series.
