...Presentation next...
Australia would have thought they had enough runs on the board. They even started well but one big partnership made them lose control. The pitch was not easy to bowl and even dew didn't help them much. Apart from Jason Behrendorff, everyone went for more than 10 runs per over. Earlier, it was Steven Smith and Josh Inglis who did all the talk. Fifty from the former and a ton from Josh Inglis helped Australia get more than 200. However, it was not enough to lead the series.
Who would have thought the game would go till the last ball? India were in cruise control till the 18th over but started losing wickets in heaps. However, Rinku Singh showed such game awareness to keep the strike in the last over and take his team over. India needed a big partnership and it came from Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. A partnership of more than 100 runs helped India get back on track after losing 2 wickets. Both get fifty but fall at the wrong time. Suryakumar Yadav particularly, as his wicket did create some havoc in the middle but Rinku Singh got the game over the line.
Pressure, what pressure for Rinku Singh. It felt like Rinku Singh does the finishing job every night in his dreams. Made it look so effortless. Looked so calm there. Nerves of steel from the young man. Just superb.

Sean Abbott To Rinku Singh
SIX! RINKU SINGH DOES IT! This is full and on middle, Singh tonks it high over long on for a biggie. That was so clean. INDIA WIN BY 2 WICKETS and although it doesn't matter, but it was a no ball and the match was over even before the ball was sent flying out of the park.
Mukesh Kumar walks in. Rinku Singh is on the strike again. 1 run needed in 1 ball. Are we in for a Super Over?

OUT! RUN OUT! Three in three for Australia. Shorter and on off, Singh pulls it to deep mid-wicket and calls for two. He makes his end but just like Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh is late at his end as Steven Smith throws at the bowler's end and finds him short.
A run out appeal is taken upstairs...
Arshdeep Singh walks in. Good thing for India is Rinku Singh is on strike.

OUT! GONE! Is there a late twist? This is full and on off, Suryakumar tries to loft but toe ends his shot to long on. Aaron Hardie runs back, keeps his eyes well on the ball and dives to take the catch, all while running towards the ropes. Just superb. 15 runs needed now.
