India tied the series at 1-1 with one match left, keeping their impressive streak of never losing a T20 series in Australia.

After a heavy defeat in Melbourne, the tide turned when Suryakumar Yadav finally won the toss.

Match Summary

Australia had to bat first. They scored 186 for 6 in their 20 overs.

Arshdeep Singh set the stage by taking out Travis Head and Josh Inglis early on.

Australian innings power came from explosive knocks from Marcus Stoinis (64), and Tim David (74).

Tim David seemed threatening, but Varun Chakravarthy’s two wickets in one over swung the momentum back in India’s favor.

Marcus Stoinis teamed up with David for a counterattack, focusing on Shivam Dube, but Dube responded by getting rid of the in-form all rounder.

India needs to tie the series with 187 runs.

Washington Sundar didn’t bowl at all, yet he made a significant impact with the bat, blasting an unbeaten 49 off just 23 balls to keep India well ahead of the required run rate.

An unbroken partnership between Washington Sundar and Jitesh Sharma led India to win.

The pair batted boldly in the closing overs, keeping the pressure on the rival bowlers.

It helped India clinch a win against Australia in the third T20 held in Hobart.

India achieved a record T20 run chase at the Bellerive Oval, successfully reaching a target of 187 with nine balls remaining.
