🇮🇳 India Collapse to 125 in Second T20I at MCG
Team India suffered a major batting collapse in the India vs Australia 2nd T20I 2025 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday, getting bowled out for just 125 in 18.4 overs. Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood led the charge with a brilliant spell, taking 3 wickets for just 13 runs, dismantling India’s top order.
🔥 Josh Hazlewood’s Fiery Spell Shatters India’s Top Order
Hazlewood’s early breakthroughs proved crucial as he dismissed Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma inside the powerplay. India were left reeling at 40/4, struggling to build momentum on a pitch offering bounce and movement.
💪 Abhishek Sharma’s Lone Battle
Amid the collapse, Abhishek Sharma played a fighting knock, remaining unbeaten on 68 off 37 balls. His innings included three fours and five sixes, showcasing confidence and aggression even as wickets kept falling at the other end. Unfortunately, lack of partnerships meant India couldn’t recover fully.
📉 Lack of Support and Quick Collapse
Apart from Sharma, no Indian batter managed to cross 20 runs. The middle order failed to provide resistance, and India were eventually bowled out for a modest 125. The innings highlighted India’s ongoing struggle against Australia’s disciplined bowling attack.
🇦🇺 Australia Begin Chase Confidently
In response, Australia’s chase began steadily with openers Travis Head and Jake Fraser-McGurk at the crease. India’s bowlers — Arshdeep Singh and Jasprit Bumrah — now face an uphill task to defend the low total at the iconic MCG.
