IND vs AUS Live: India Win!!!
Hardik Pandya hits a four towards third man boundary and India have won the game by 6 wickets. With this they also bag the three-match series 2-1. What a game this was! One could not have asked for a better thriller to this India vs Australia deciding T20I.
What a shot this is from Hardik Pandya! He came across the wicket and slammed Josh Hazlewood's lower full toss over long-on for a six. For a moment, the long-on fielder was interested but the ball sailed over him. India need 15 more in 11 balls.
Lucky runs for India! Pat Cummins bowled it outside off to Hardik Pandya and the latter threw his bat to it. The ball fell between the short third man and wicketkeeper to eventually run for a four.
A single and with it Virat Kohli races to his 33rd T20I fifty in 37 balls. He has looked in complete control tonight. He is the key for India from here in this tight chase.
Australia have got something to rejoice after a long time as the partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli is finally broken. The duo added 104 runs for the third wicket before SKY holed out a Josh Hazlewood delivery to long-off. He departed for 69 runs off 36 balls.
This is an even better shot from Suryakumar Yadav. He extended his elbows on the lofted drive to hit the ball over extra cover for a big six. This player is out of the league when he is on song.When was he not in form anyway? Terrific stuff!
What a shot this is from Suryakumar Yadav! He danced down the track and flicked the lower full toss from Adam Zampa nonchalantly over cow corner for a six. With it he races to his fifty in only 29 balls.
Wow! How on earth can you hit a such a shot! It was a short-of-a-length ball from Daniel Sams outside off-stump, Suryakumar jumped out of his crease and lofted the ball over covers for a six. This is a sensational shot and only SKY can do such stuff!
Virat Kohli danced down the track and hit Adam Zampa over long-on for a big six. What an innings this is turning out to be from the former India skipper!
Wow! That's an exquisite cover drive from Virat Kohli for a four. A shot he used to play regularly during his prime days. Kohli is looking in great control today and that's a good sign for him as well as the Indian team.
It a big-big wicket for Australia. Rohit Sharma departs for 17 runs off 14 balls. Smart bowling this is from the Aussie pacer Pat Cummins. He saw Rohit coming down the track to charge him and hence pitched the ball short into the body of the batter, who was cramped for room and thus hit the ball directly into the hands of deep backward square leg.
It's the trademark pull shot from Rohit Sharma for a six. Josh Hazlewood pitched it slightly short and Rohit's eyes lit up. As flawless as always, the Indian skipper pulled it over deep mid-wicket for a six.
Some relief for India and Harshal Patel. Tim David departs for 54 off 27 balls. Has the wicket come too late for India? The Aussie hs done his part anyway.
A six from Tim David down the ground and that's his first fifty for Australia. He had scored 18 and 2 runs in his first two matches for the side, but this time he has played an extremely crucial knock. He gets to his fifty in 25 balls.
A four to finish off the over. 21 runs came off it. Bhuvi bowled one wide while the rest 20 runs came off David's bat. Australia have got the much-needed momentum here in Hyderabad.
