India vs Australia, As it happened, Ist T20I: Maxwell fifty carries Aussies home in last-over thriller

India vs Australia, As it happened, Ist T20I: Maxwell fifty carries Aussies home in last-over thriller

Glenn Maxwell made fifty for Australia

Visakhapatnam, February 24: India made a sub-par 126 for seven after being asked to bat first Australia in the opening T20I here on Sunday. KL Rahul made a fifty off 36 balls but the Aussies bowlers led by pacer Nathan Coulter Nile hit back with force to restrict India to 126/7. But Glenn Maxwell made a fine fifty as Australia huffed home by three wickets in a last-over thriller.

India will face Australia in the first T20I here on Sunday (February 24) and the series, consisting of two T20Is and five ODIs, will offer the selectors and the team management a chance to find suitable candidates and back-up for the available slots for the ICC World Cup 2019 beginning in England from May 30.

But the immediate goal in front of India will be to win the first T20I and make a bright beginning to the series and keep going their dominance at home and the Aussies, still without David Warner and Steve Smith, are not precisely a massive force. So can India do it? Here's MyKhel's live updates of India vs Australia first T20I.
