Matthew Kuhnemann Eyes Curtailing Abhishek Sharma's Impact in Fourth T20I
Australia spinner Matthew Kuhnemann is optimistic about limiting the influence of India's promising batsman Abhishek Sharma in the fourth T20 International scheduled at Bill Pippen Oval, Gold Coast, on Thursday, November 6.
Series Background
The five-match T20 International series began with the opener abandoned due to rain in Canberra. Australia took the lead by winning the second game by four wickets.
Abhishek Sharma's Performance
In Australia's fast bowling conditions, Abhishek Sharma has been a key figure for India with the bat. While many of his teammates struggled against Australia’s pace attack in the second match, Sharma scored an aggressive 68 runs off 37 balls.
"Abhishek has been India's driving force with the bat in Australia's seaming conditions across the three T20Is."
Despite his solid effort in the second game, India could not secure a win. In the third match, Sharma took responsibility to give India a strong start chasing a demanding total of 187 runs. He hit two sixes and two fours to score 25 runs from 16 balls, helping India win by five wickets with nine balls remaining, leveling the series.
"He walloped two towering maximums and as many fours to finish with 25 in 16 deliveries as India gunned down the target to level the series."
