India vs Australia 2017: 1st T20I, 5 things we learnt from the match

#3 Australia's batting woes continue

Aaron Finch waged a lone battle for Australia

Australia continued to have a wretched time with the bat in India as they collapsed to 118/8 in the first T20I at Ranchi. Muddled thinking with the batting order, some needless shuffling around and suicidal shots resulted in the quick loss of wickets and before you knew it, the Aussies were crumbling yet again.

Aaron Finch tried to resurrect the innings on his own with a 30 ball 42, but he found little support as seven batsmen made single-digit scores. Without Steven Smith, the Australian batting order lacks an anchor around whom their dynamic batsmen can bat. They need to regroup and quickly if they are to challenge this Indian outfit.
