Sydney, December 8: Series already sealed and their confidence restored, India would eye nothing less than a clean sweep when they take on an Australian side significantly weakened by injury blows in the third and final T20 International in Sydney on Tuesday (December 8).
Skipper Virat Kohli and his main protagonist of the white-ball leg, Hardik Pandya, will feel a sense of deja vu given that the script has panned out exactly like 2016 when the team got walloped in the ODIs but came back strongly to rout the Aussies 3-0 in the T20 international series.
After a couple of crushing defeats in the first two ODIs, the Indians have turned a corner starting with the final ODI in Canberra and back-to-back T20 wins. Now, India will look to end the T20 seires on a winning note and keep the momentum heading into the Test series.
Here is how India vs Australia, Third T20I happened:
End of match: Virat Kohli's 61-ball 85 goes in vain as Australia, initially powered by Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade fifties followed by a Mitchell Swepson 3-wicket haul sealed their first win of the T20I series. However, India win the T20 series 2-1.
That's that from the third T20I. Australia win by 12 runs.#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/wAOa7nYi5R
