Road Safety World Series 2022, India Legends vs Australia Legends: Here’s what will happen to first semi-final

The
match
will
begin
at
3:30
PM
while
the
second
semi-final
which
was
supposed
to
be
held
on
Thursday
has
now
been
pushed
to
Friday
(September
30).
The
organisers
have
also
announced
that
Sunday
(October
2)
will
be
the
reserve
day
for
the
Final.

Earlier
in
the
day,
India
Legends
skipper
Sachin
Tendulkar
won
the
toss
and
elected
to
field
first.
Australia
Legends
were
off
to
a
flying
start
their
captain
Shane
Watson,
along
with
his
opening
partner
Alex
Doolan
shared
another
fifty-plus
stand
for
the
first
wicket.
Making
full
use
of
the
fielding
restrictions
in
the
powerplay,
the
duo
dealt
in
fours
and
sixes
and
took
the
team
past
the
50-run
mark.

The
threatening
opening
partnership
of
60
runs
was
broken
when
spinner
Rahul
Sharma
got
Shane
Watson
caught
at
covers
by
Suresh
Raina.
Watson
made
30
off
20
balls
before
getting
dismissed.
After
Watson’s
departure,
the
Indian
bowlers
started
putting
on
a
tight
leash
and
choked
the
flow
of
runs.

At
the
halfway
stage
the
Aussies
were
76/1.
Yusuf
Pathan
provided
another
breakthrough
on
the
second
ball
of
the
11th
over
when
he
outfoxed
Alex
Doolan
and
got
the
batter
stumped
by
Naman
Ojha
for
35.

Yusuf
struck
in
his
next
over
and
ended
the
knock
of
Callum
Ferguson
for
10.
The
left-handed
batter
tried
to
flick
him
over
the
third
man
but
failed
to
time
it
well
and
Tendulkar
pouched
an
easy
catch
at
short
fine-leg.
Australians
lost
their
third
wicket
for
104
in
the
13th
over.

Then
pacer
Abhimanyu
Mithun
ended
the
innings
of
Nathan
Reardon
for
5
after
getting
him
caught
by
Ojha
and
the
partnership
of
24
runs
for
the
fourth
wicket
ended.
Ben
Dunk,
however,
was
unperturbed
with
the
fall
of
wickets
at
the
other
end
and
kept
scoring
runs
fluently
and
smashed
two
sixes
and
four
boundaries.
But
a
stunning
catch
from
Raina
towards
point
brought
an
end
to
his
innings
for
46
off
26
balls.
Australia
lost
two
wickets
in
the
same
over
bowled
by
the
right-arm
pacer,
Mithun.

Just
when
the
Indian
bowlers
were
trying
to
apply
pressure
on
the
Aussie
lower-middle
order,
the
rain
gods
opened
up
the
skies
and
the
umpires
had
to
call
in
the
covers
soon
after
the
final
ball
of
the
17th
was
delivered.
By
the
time
the
play
stopped,
Aussies
had
posted
136
for
5.
As
it
kept
pouring,
the
match
officials
decided
the
shift
the
game
to
the
next
day
with
the
hopes
of
getting
a
result.
