After being dropped by Scott Boland early in his innings, Shami, who is known for his fiery approach at the bat, punished the Australians with his trademark big hits. When Shami faced the debutant in the 131st over of the Indian innings, he hit him for a big six on the offside and then followed it up with a powerful slog through midwicket.
The explosive batter was struck out in the very next over by Murphy, who ultimately emerged victorious with his seventh wicket of the innings. The Indian pacer put in another significant effort, but this time he only produced a top edge, which was easily caught by the wicketkeeper. His exciting inning, which included two fours and three sixes, helped the Indian total by an important 37 runs.
