India has continued its winning run in the one-day international against Australia after successfully seizing the white ball Border-Gavaskar Trophy by 2-3 for the fourth time in a row. Pandya-led men in blue team walked down to the Wankhede stadium and with the contribution of KL Rahul (75) with the bat after a long wait and Mohammed Shami (3) and Siraj (3) with bowl led the team to win on Thursday.
India winning the toss led Australia to bat first in Wankhede. The competition looked one-sided as Australia had lost early wickets. Batting for Australia Mitchell Marsh solely looked to be guiding the team as no batsman other than him could score big. Marsh took only 65 deliveries to score 81 runs with the help of five 6s and ten 4s. His quick fifty led the team to a score of 188.
Mohammed Shami and Siraj crushed the Australian batting lineup. Fast and furious, Shami took 3 top wickets by spending only 17 runs in 6 overs. His 6-over-spell contained 2 maiden overs. Joining the pace attack from the other side Mohammed Siraj accounted 3 wickets to his name. He spent 29 runs in just an incomplete spell of 6 overs.

The pace duo was seen interviewing each other after the end of the match. Both top-rated pacers shared questions and praised each other. Shami being senior, offered his advice to Siraj to avoid high jumps as a fast bowler (pointing at his high jump celebration).
Whereas Siraj asked Shami about his recovery as he played without practicing right after the test matches. While responding to him he said that there was a day or two gaps that he had for recovery and he was able to recover in such a short period and played and performed well for the team by taking 3 wickets.
