PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Yash Verma: This series will definitely put some question marks on Australia's middle order and playing of spin in the middle overs.
Nandan: Moeen Ali's captaincy has been remarkable in this game. The way England took control from the attacking Aussies proves Moeen's calibre as captain.
SJ: Aussies trying their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory! They have been very rusty indeed to lose from winning positions in this series. Hopefully, they will warm up by the time ODIs come along. -- This game is still in the balance.
Shahriar Kabir: Rashid has done it again. He took wicket in his last ball of his 4th over in all 3 matches. Amazing stuff.
Yash Verma: "Are the Aussies going to throw away yet another game?" - This couldn't have been more timely.
Rahul Sargam: "147kph, 149kph, 144kph , 143kph, 146kph and 151kph. Wow stuff from Wood. Reminding me of Brett Lee and Shoaib Akhtar. Fiery spell."
Mahim: "This is how Australia lose the Game. Played faultlessly until the 17th over. Now, these few extra runs could hurt them like the first two-games."
HRITHIK BAGORIYA: "I feel today Mitch Marsh could have been given a couple of overs, as he will be batting lower down the order but not to forget he is a good bowler too."
Gurjot Singh: Chance for Moeen Ali to play a captain's knock today.
HRITHIK BAGORIYA: Today other than Wade all the players have experience of bowling. Finch has bowled in Tests. Smith started his career as a leggie. And all others have some reputation for bowling. -- Not sure Australia will need all of them.
Gurjot Singh: I think changing batting positions of Tom Banton is not helping him.
Mehavannen: @Shubham Singh. With that accurate line and length, the bowler will easily be predicted and can go for runs.
Shubham Singh: Hazlewood's bowling is an absolute pleasure for the eye. Simple action, accurate line and length and clocking 140s. How could he be benched. -- Because that accurate line and length does not always work in T20s.
Mustafa Moudi: Fun Fact: Hazlewood has not played a T20I since 2016 while Wade has not kept the wicket since last 18 months... yet the combination of these 2 brought Aussies the first wicket... T20I is full of surprises!!
Priyanshu Poddar: @Sahriar, more than resting Warner, it's about giving a hit to few others in this dead rubber who are also coming back after a 6-month break.
Ganesh: Why Morgan is not playing? -- He dislocated his finger while fielding in the previous game but slotted it back in immediately and batted, so he is resting as a precautionary.
Keshore: Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood are without a doubt, fine fast bowlers. But I still think Australia need to find more specialist white ball bowlers. They will have to groom the likes of Riley Meredith and Daniel Sams. -- Starc is still one of the best white-ball bowlers.
Sahriar: After having a long 6-month long break giving Warner rest after playing 2 T20Is is not practical since he hasn't had any minor injury.
HRITHIK BAGORIYA: In the absence of Cummins, Starc will have to take charge of the bowling unit. He has not done much in this series. Today he can prove his worth.
Prashanth: How could Warner be dropped. -- Not dropped, rested.
Akash Joby: This match will provide a glimpse of Moeen Ali's captaincy in international level. Must see how his captaincy affects the team.
Jubayer: This is a chance for Stoinis to open with Finch and show the haters his prowess. -- As per the team sheets looks like it is going to be Wade opening with Finch.
Rohan Garg: I think Australia can bring Labuschagne, Sams, Philippe and Mitchell Marsh in place of Agar, K Richardson, Carey and Stoinis. This would bring more vigour to the batting lineup and Australia would have seven bowling options including Maxwell. -- That's a lot of changes, Rohan.
