Shami left the first ball

Travis Head and Cooper Konoli landed to start the innings for Australia. The first ball faced by Travis Head. Shami put the head between the first ball, on which he played a shot in front.

The ball approached Shami directly and tried to hold it with one hand but he could not complete this catch. Australia got a big life in the form of head on the very first ball. Later, the heads were left out as a run out.

Then Cooper Konoli was out

Even though Mohammed Shami had made a big mistake on the first ball of the match, he gave India a sigh of relief in his second over. Shami moved Cooper Konoli on the last ball of his second over. Taking the outer edge of Cooper's bat, the ball got into the hands of wicketkeeper KL Rahul.

Cooper faced 9 balls but could not even open the account. He was injured in place of Matthew Short, which was out of the tournament. But big matches could not show any special feat.
