IND v AUS 2020: WATCH – Smith runs out Finch in a comical sequence during Bengaluru ODI

Both Smith and Finch ended up at the same end.

Aaron Finch | APIndia and Australia are currently engaged in the third and final ODI of the three-match series between the two sides. With the series 1-1, this match is a winner take all and Aaron Finch called the coin toss correctly, winning thrice in a row.

India made no changes in their playing XI despite Rishabh Pant deemed fit, while Australia brought in Josh Hazlewood in for Kane Richardson. Meanwhile, Finch and Warner found life difficult at the start on a greenish tinge of a wicket as Indian bowlers got the ball to bounce and move after pitching, which gave India their first wicket when Warner edged one from Shami to Rahul.

Finch and Smith seemed to put things back on the track and things were looking ominous when Steve Smith had a brain fade moment of his own. Smith angled one ball to short third man, and Finch hared off for one. Smith was always hesitant, and soon enough Finch was at Smith's end.

Jadeja collected the ball and fired at Smith’s end, missing the stumps. Shreyas Iyer then covered the ball and threw towards the bowler’s end, where Shami whipped off the bails to run out Finch, who tried to make ground. The Australian captain looked good for another big one and walked off in disgust. Australia were 46/2 in the 9th over.
