Australia were all out for 469, Head 163 and Smith 121, as India’s batsmen rallied to take the last seven wickets for 108.
But Australia still scored high and when India reached the tea on 37 for two, they hit twice with the new ball and got into the driving seat.
Captain Pat Cummins drove Rohit Sharma forward at mid-wicket for a single that looked on center and off.
Then Scott Boland joined the fray, rallied to one, and after paying the price for a bad decision, Shubman restored Gill’s roots.

India were alive to the potential when star batsman Virat Kohli came close to getting out for a duck, only to brush the inside edge over leg and remove the bat to get past.
Smith didn’t finish the day on 95 and showed no signs of the stress of the night, with Mohammad Siraj coughing up a slightly slower hole and hitting the first two wickets of the morning for four.
Smith was lifted in celebration after 229 balls in the innings, his last victory in a long and often battered country. In doing so, it took the UK average above 60 and above 100.
The lead went from 146 to 163 in a confident pace, but ultimately defied India’s short-lived victories.

Cameron Greene took the first wicket for four but slipped his lines slightly at number six before Mohammad Samide flew in and speared a sharp shot at second slip.
India continued to retreat into the fight and Smith’s attitude changed when Shardul Thakur was bowled back.
The lower order was in contention, with Alex Carey changing hands on a stunning 48 as Siraj reached 108 with four.

It has been a great ride for Zimbabwe, especially in the last two years. Banned internationally in 2019 and not allowed to participate in the T20 World Cup (2021), the country has thrived mainly in the white-ball format. Little by little, they were reminded, moreover, that they came here to compete, to fight, and to rise to the heights of true skill.
Aussie Quicks Key Against England In Semi Showdown
Sikandar Raza is at the forefront of a revival that has put Zimbabwe on the map once again – a team that is not to be taken lightly and a team that can fight against all odds. Continuity isn’t just about loosing the fight, it’s about winning it. Raza also suffered when she was diagnosed with bone cancer, which left her somewhat shaken and back on top.
“In 2021, I was diagnosed with cancer and a tumor in my bones, which led to many surgeries. Then my bones were filled with drugs and synthetic bone, if there was an infection in my bones, I could die. The infection does not come back. I have been under observation for two years, but my results are good and healthy,” Raza said in an interview.
“All I said at the time was, ‘God, if you’ve decided this is the end of my career, help me find peace.’ If it ends up getting hurt and you think it’s yours, I want my time to be up, so go easy on me too. ‘ So I think, recalling this stage.
Raza’s career has particularly paid off in 2022, with 645 runs at 49.61 with eight wickets in ODIs. In T20Is, he has scored 735 runs in 150 overs, but another contributor to his game is his bowling in this format, taking 25 scalps at a poor 6.13 economy.

Coupled with the aforementioned surgeries and two shoulder injuries, Raza couldn’t quite hit his stride and eventually had to make some adjustments to convince him that he didn’t have to stop bowling altogether. Fortunately, he worked well with Sunil Narine in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he tried to increase his performance and was very successful.
“I’m still talking to Sunil bro and I’m still frustrating him and saying I’m not hitting the ball where I want to go or I don’t have the physique I’m trying to get. It’s getting better, the control is better, the landing is better, but it’s still a bit much.”
“I think that’s what keeps me going, there’s that excitement that you need to improve, bowling mistakes and things like that. So, I’m still very upset about it.”
His impressive performances last year earned him a place in the ICC’s ODI and T20I Teams of the Year – Raza had a long way to go to gain recognition and respect in Zimbabwe.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet, the praise is in itself. But what has sunk in is that a lot of people are talking about Zimbabwe, a lot of people are watching Zimbabwe, a lot of people are cheering for Zimbabwe, a lot of people are interested in us playing,” the 36-year-old said.
“Pasteur has received many honors and respects in recent times, and I am honored and delighted to have played a small part in this, not a personal accolade.”
As for the 2022 T20 World Cup, Zimbabwe have a lot on their hands when it comes to reaching the semi-finals. It will be a success as they have to play the qualifiers first and then the first round of the mega event before the Super 12. No matter what he did, the fairy tale would have ended.
They were saved by rain in the first Super 12 match against South Africa and later defeated Pakistan in the series. The Chevrons will advance to the next round if they win two of their next three games against Bangladesh, Netherlands and India.

However, Pakistan took a bit of a backseat after the game, losing all three games and being dropped after giving a lot of hope.
“It’s not inevitable, but it’s the most traveled team. I don’t think any other team has weathered like Zimbabwe. So he played, packed his bag, travel, train, play. We struggle every day. “Finally, I think the fatigue is over,” he said.
“Playing in Bangladesh hurt us a lot. The body is tired and people are also mentally tired. So, it’s something we haven’t used, but it’s a learning experience. “
None of Zimbabwe’s recent success would have been possible without head coach Dave Hafton, who feels Raza changed everything with his magic wand.
