Their batting is doing a decent job with Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran all in form. Ironically, it is the captain that’s letting the team down. Though Kane Williamson has scored some runs, his strike rate has been abysmal.

Harshal Patel found some much-awaited form with a three-for. Josh Hazlewood was brilliant as ever. But it was Glenn Maxwell who was the surprise factor with 2 for 22.
