Australia won a historic match against the Netherlands by 305 runs. The match was played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi and former Indian batter Aakash Chopra has said that after seeing Australia’s batting, the bowlers might refuse to bowl at this ground.
Australia, after choosing to bat first on a calm pitch on October 25, established a challenging target of 400 runs for the Netherlands. They subsequently dismissed Scott Edwards’ team for just 90 runs, securing a commanding 309-run victory and strengthening their position in fourth place on the points table.
While talking to his official Youtube Channel, Aakash Chopra talked about the raining sixes and fours in Delhi by the Australians.
“Australia decided to bat first after winning the toss and scored 399. What are you doing? Fours and sixes are being hit at the Arun Jaitley Stadium as though it is a Sarojini Nagar sale, fours and sixes on every ball as though they were on sale. Bowlers are saying they won’t come here.”
Aakash Chopra also praised David Warner for blistering knock.
“Whoever starts hitting, doesn’t stop at all. Mitchell Marsh came to open with David Warner. Mitchell Marsh played a bad shot but David Warner said that his wagon is back on track and he won’t let it derail now. He scored a century in the last match and a hundred here as well.”
Chopra also talked about Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne for contributing some good runs for Australia.
“Australia slipped a little when he got out as they were 244/2 and became 267/5. Wickets fell one after the other, although Steve Smith played well. He needed to score runs and he also finally got his rhythm. Marnus Labuschagne also scored runs. So everyone in focus did a good job in this match.”
