| D'Arcy Short | 7 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 58.33 |
|
4.1 OUT! Khaleel strikes first ball! Excellent catch by Kuldeep as D'Arcy's short stay at the crease is over. A length ball, around off, Short looks to go over the top but hits it very high in the air. Gets plenty of height but not that much distance. In fact, he cannot get it past mid on. Kuldeep Yadav runs back a touch, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a very good catch. Big wicket for India as Short can really strike them long but in hindsight, it might be a blessing in disguise for Australia. 24/1

| Aaron Finch C | 27 | 24 | 3 | 0 | 112.5 |
|
8.3 OUT! This time the line is outside off and flighted. Finch comes down the ground and looks to hoick it out of the ground but only manages to get an outside edge that loops up to Khaleel at short third man. India will be really happy to see the back of the Aussie skipper as he was looking really good and set to make it count. The ball seemed like a wrong 'un and replays confirm it. Finch doesn't read it and perishes for 27. The partnership of 40 off 26 balls comes to an end. 64/2

| Chris Lynn | 37 | 20 | 1 | 4 | 185 |
|
10.1 OUT! GOT 'EM! Kuldeep strikes. A rather soft dismissal in the end, but a big wicket nonetheless. The in-form Lynn departs. The chinaman tosses it up on the stumps, Lynn comes forward and ends up chipping it back in the bowler's direction. The bowler moves to his left and takes a sharp catch tumbling down. 75/3

| Glenn Maxwell | 46 | 24 | 0 | 4 | 191.66 |
|
16.2 OUT! Bumrah gets Maxi again! A wicket for India straight after the break. A length ball, around middle, the Big Show tries to heave across the line but cannot get it past square leg. Straight to Bhuvneshwar who takes a good catch. No fifty for Maxwell as Bumrah has picked him up for the sixth time in T20Is. Kohli may have missed a trick by not bringing him on earlier. 153/4

4.1 OUT! Gone! Massive breakthrough for Australia. Behrendorff comes up with the goods. He delivers a length ball in line of the stumps and Rohit walks forward and across to flick it over the leg side. But he fails to middle his shot properly and it balloons in the air towards mid on. Aaron Finch runs back to take the catch, fumbles once but then sticks it near his chest. An ordinary first innings on this tour for Rohit. He never got going and struggled to come to terms with the extra bounce. 35/1

| Shikhar Dhawan | 76 | 42 | 10 | 2 | 180.95 |
|
11.4 OUT! Gone this time! Jeez, that is a pretty cool catch by Jason Behrendorff! Is that the game? Another short ball outside off, Dhawan backs away to the leg side, exposing all his stumps and then tries to ramp the shot over third man. The connection is decent but he gets more height than distance. It seems to be a pretty simple catch for the man at third man but remember, he has the ropes behind him to think about too. Behrendorff does well not to tread on those. Big, big wicket for Australia. Dhawan misses out on a century, India need 69 from 32 deliveries. 105/4

| KL Rahul | 13 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 108.33 |
|
8.2 OUT! The foot is on the line and that is not good enough for the batsman! That is a big wicket for Zampa. It will increase his confidence 10-fold. After bowling quickies all this while, he slows this down a touch. Rahul is drawn forward to drive but misses. Carey collects and whips off the bails, appealing as well. It looks close and sure enough, replays show that the foot is on the line when the bails come off. 81/2

| Virat Kohli C | 4 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
10.5 OUT! Ho ho ho! Zampa gets his second! And this is a big one, in the form of the opposition captain. Full and outside off, a touch wide, Kohli comes down the track and looks to go inside-out, his favourite shot. But because the ball is wide, he miscues. There is absolutely no timing on that and it is skewed up straight in the air. Easy catch for Chris Lynn at short third man. The asking rate keeps mounting - 80 needed from 37 balls now. 94/3
|

| Rishabh Pant Wk | 20 | 15 | 1 | 1 | 133.33 |
|
15.3 OUT! Caught! Against the run of play, Tye gets a wicket. Or rather, Pant has given it away. Absolutely no need for this shot. A low full toss, Rishabh looks to play the reverse paddle but spoons this high in the air. Jason Behrendorff barely has to move an inch as he takes it calmly at point. Big wicket for Australia. The quickfire stand is broken. 156/5

| Dinesh Karthik | 30 | 13 | 4 | 1 | 230.76 |
|
16.4 OUT! Back-to-back wickets for Stoinis and he is on a hat-trick! Wow. Read that again. Stoinis on a hat-trick. A length ball outside off, again pace taken off, Karthik looks to swat it over the off side but cannot quite clear the man in the deep. Third catch for Jason Behrendorff tonight. Excellent knock from Karthik though. 11 needed from 2 now. 163/7

| Krunal Pandya | 2 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
|
16.3 OUT! Caught but this could be a blessing in disguise for India. 11 needed from 3 but it is Dinesh Karthik on strike. A full ball on middle, slower in pace, Pandya swings hard but mistimes it towards long on. Glenn Maxwell comes charging in, dives forward and takes a very good catch. Is pumped up with that. India will not mind it too much. Krunal was struggling. A boundary here and the visitors will be back in the game. 163/6
