Patna : Australia were 153/3 after 16.1 overs against India in the 1st T20I at Gabba, Brisbane, Australia, when play was stopped due to rain with Glen Maxwell batting on 46 in 23 balls with 4 sixes and Marcus Stoinis batting on 31 in 18 balls with 3 fours and a six.

Maxwell hit three consecutive sixes in Krunal Pandya’s third over. Pandya, elder brother of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, leaked 23 runs in his third over. Maxwell and Stoinis hit him for one six each in his fourth over too. Pandya conceded 55 runs in 4 overs without taking any wicket. Kuldeep Yadav, however, proved quite effective taking 2/24 in 4 overs.  Fast bowler K Khaleel Ahmad also proved quite expensive. He took 1/42 in 3 overs.

Kuldeep Yadav took the wickets of  Australia captain and opener Aaron Finch and Chris Lynn who scored 27 and 37 runs respectively. Lynn hit 4 sixes and a four in his 37 in 20 balls. Khaleel Ahmad took the wicket of opener D Arcy Short.
