Australia captain Aaron Finch has heaped praise on India\u2019s death bowling, saying it was one of the reasons why the hosts ended the winning side in the just concluded three-match ODI series. In the final ODI played on Sunday, Australia couldn\u2019t capitalise on the strong platform, set up by a third-wicket partnership of 127 between Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, and ended up with 286\/9 a below-par score at the Chinnaswamy surface which India chased down comfortably with seven wickets in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia lost five wickets in the last 10 overs and the regular strikes from the Indian bowlers meant that the last three overs yielded just 13 runs to restrict the visitors below 300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think in the last two games, we have had the bowlers batting for the majority of the last few overs. We saw in Rajkot, the damage that K.L. could do in the back end because he was a settled batter. I think that\u2019s an area we just missed a couple of tricks. Just not having an in batter being in and having faced 20 or 30 balls to get us deeper and get us to the back end,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of the reason for Australia not being able to accelerate towards the end was the accuracy of the Indian pacers Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Navdeep Saini who bowled stream of yorkers and didn\u2019t provide any room to the batters, both in Rajkot and in Bengaluru.\u201cCredit to India, their death bowling in the last few games was exceptional,\u201d Finch said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
