India's Defeat even after scoring 208 runs..!?

In the first t20 match against australia, the indian team lost by scoring 208 runs due to poor bowling. The absence of bumrah from the indian team was a big setback. But before such a big series, the question has also arisen whether it is enough to have only one Bumrah. The reason for the defeat in the Asia Cup is the same reason why india lost in this tournament as well. Yes, it's because of the lack of death bowling.
Australian captain Aaron Finch won the toss and declared to bowl first. After this, rohit sharma showed his action by hitting a six and a boundary and was dismissed for 11 runs. The much anticipated virat kohli was out for 2 runs. After this, the pair of KL rahul and Suryakumar played aggressively to save the team. After scoring 55 runs off 35 balls, rahul was caught.
With this, he became the 3rd player to score 2000 runs fastest in international cricket. Suryakumar too started his hunt for sixes, he too got out with 46 off 25 balls. hardik pandya played so well in the end. Especially in the last over, hardik pandya scored a hat-trick of six in the last 3 balls and added 71 runs in 30 balls. With this, the indian team scored 208 runs for the loss of 6 wickets at the end of 20 overs.
With the target of winning by scoring 209 runs, the Australian team played aggressively from the start. Green hit 4 consecutive fours in one over. Aaron Finch's 22 and cameron Green's 61 off 30 balls saw australia at one stage close to victory. Then umesh yadav bowled 2 wickets in the only over.
As a result, Smith, and Maxwell got out one after the other and Axar patel also took the wicket of Joss Inglis. australia needed 55 runs to win in the last 4 overs. As usual, Bhuvneshwar Kumar scored 15 runs in the 17th over and Harshal patel scored 22 runs in the 18th over, and the Australian team won with 4 balls to spare. None other than Axar patel has been so good at bowling.
