India warmed up well with two consecutive victories ahead of the 2021 T20 World Cup. The inaugural champions beat Australia in their second warm-up game at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai on Wednesday. Bowling first, Indian spinners dominated with the ball as Australia were left reeling at 11/3 in the fourth over of the match. Later, the Aaron Finch-led side recovered from the early blows as Glenn Maxwell (37) and Steve Smith (57) stitched together a 61-run stand for the fourth wicket. Rahul Chahar too was impressive with his variations throughout the Australian innings.
