India need 52 runs off last 30 balls. Kohli and Karthik are there. Doable?

Two quick wickets. KL Rahul falls to Maxwell while Rishabh Pant succumbs to a limp pull against slow ball from Andrew Tye. Wicketkeeper Carey has no trouble in catching it. Aussies are back.

After 10 overs India are 92/2 and nicely placed to overhaul the target.

KL Rahul who has tapered off after scoring a 100 against England a couple of months back, has started with a 6 off Coulter Nile. It's an important innings for him.

India chase is about to begin. They have Dhawan, Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, Karthik and Pant as explosive a batting line-up you can get. Can they chase 165 without nerves?

By no means it was a smooth innings. But Australia have somehow managed to make 164/6 and that's a competitive total.

Wicket no 6: Aus are 131/6 and Lynn is run out by a direct throw by Jasprit Bumrah to bowling end.

Krunal Pandya dismissed Carey as Australia are 122/5 after 16 overs. The left-arm spinner took 4/36 in 4 overs. A really match turning spell?

Crazy little stretch. Australia lose three wickets -- Finch, Short and Ben McDermott -- as they are 75/3 in 9.5 overs. Good contest here

Maxwell has been reprieved by DRS on 4 -- lbw reversed on 4

A Dropped catch - Rohit spilled Finch off Krunal Pandya on 22 -- and a misfield by Bumrah that went for a 4. India are a bit sloppy here.

After 6 Power Play overs, Australia are 49/0 and spin in the form of Kuldeep Yadav straightaway after PP

After 5 overs, Australia are 41/0 and both Finch and Short look good here

Bumrah has replaced Khaleel Ahmed and Michael Clarke believes that a total in the vicinity of 160-165 could be competitive here
