Match Context
Maxwell returned to the playing XI after recovering from an injury. Coming in at number seven, he faced the challenge of chasing 70 runs from 41 balls. However, tight bowling from Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, and Washington Sundar forced him into an aggressive stroke, missing the ball and getting bowled.
Maxwell missed the ball completely, and it just kissed the wickets.
India had set a target of 168 runs. Australia started strongly but lost wickets rapidly, ultimately losing the match by 48 runs. With this win, India leads the five-match series 2-1.
Next Match
The two teams will meet next at the Gabba on November 8, Saturday.
