The seeds of this tournament were sown on the first day when Konstas got into a big fight between Bumrah and Usman Khawaja.

The young Australian, however, seemed undaunted and carried his defiant spirit into the second day, determined to challenge Bumrah at every turn.
Despite his bold shot, Konstas' resistance was short-lived. Mohammed Siraj it provided the necessary threat in the 12th hour, producing a brilliant volley that pulled Konstas' bat. KL Rahul in the second slip made no mistake, completing a strong catch. Siraj celebrated wildly, his ferocious pumps matching the intensity of the Indian team, which was chased down and eliminated.
