Peter Handscomb
Peter Handscomb was the most impressive of the Aussie batsmen and applied himself really well. He advanced down the pitch on a few occasions to hit the Indian pacers over the circle through the extra cover region. At times, he moved laterally to loft their deliveries over the short square leg. Handscomb’s quick footwork and great hands allowed him to hit 6 boundaries and 2 over-boundaries in his innings.

Handscomb and Marsh added 53 for the 4th wicket to steady the Australian innings, while his 68-run partnership with Stoinis took them to an imposing score. However, Handscomb outscored Stoinis in that partnership and made 73 off only 61 deliveries.
Australia made 93 runs in their last 10 overs to take the game away from the Indians. This was Handscomb's 2nd half-century in 9 ODIs and he seems to have a long and successful career ahead of him.
