  • 19.6

    FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah to Marcus Stoinis. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, inside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. 15 from the final over as Australia finish strongly.

    After a fine start by Australia India wrestled back control in the middle overs with magnificent T20 slow bowling from Krunal Pandya (4-36) and Kuldeep Yadav (1-19). They were able to cut off any major contributions from the Australian batsmen. The end result is a competitive total of 164 but this very strong Indian batting line up will fancy their chances. All eyes will be on the returning Mitchell Starc for the home side.

    Virat Kohli, the undisputed master of a tight runchase has done it again. He ends up on 61 not out and ties the series 1-1 in enthralling fashion at the SCG. A great game of T20 cricket played out in front of a packed crowd. Australia will rue losing wickets and momentum in the middle overs after a great start to their innings.

    They were also unable to control the explosive Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma in the powerplay. They fought very hard in the field but the class of Kohli was one step too far. These two teams will next lock horns in the test arena and it promises to be a cracker.
