Tim David and Marcus Stoinis have made it a fruitful day for Australian big hitters in India, with the two power batters helping muscle their sides to victory in the IPL.
David produced one of his rollicking specials on Sunday, cracking an unbeaten 45 off just 21 balls to help propel Mumbai Indians to their first win of the season in their home Wankhede Stadium against a struggling, Australian-flavoured Delhi Capitals side.
Then later, allrounder Stoinis blasted his eighth IPL half-century to set the platform for the Justin Langer-coached Lucknow Super Giants to beat the Gujarat Titans by 33 runs in Lucknow.
