IND vs AUS: Australia win!!!
A four from Pat Cummins and Australia win the match by 4 wickets. It was a roller-coaster ride for both the teams but Australia eventually came out on top.
Two short balls from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Matthew Wade hits both of them for fours. Australia need only two runs off the final over. Mere formality remains!
Bhuvneshwar Kumar had nailed his yorker but Matthew Wade opened the face of his bat smartly at the right time to find the gap between short third man and gully fielders.
Harshal Patel gave only 6 runs off his third over and India are still in the game. Asking rate for Australia goes to almost 14 now and it's anyone's game from here!
Cameron Green is finally gone! Axar Patel gets his man as he bowled it far to Green on offside and an optimistic slog sweep saw Green hitting the ball high in the air. Virat took a really good catch towards long-on.
Live Cricket Score: SIX! 100 comes up for Australia!
This Cameron Green is a cheeky monster! He has slammed another six and this match will soon be over for India if he stays there for long. He is so good tonight on this belter surface!
A poor ball from Harshal Patel as he bowls it on the legs of Cameron Green and it gets the perfect treatment. 1st powerplay ends with Australia scoring 60 runs in it at the loss of one wicket.
Stete Smith dances down the track to Harshal Patel and hits him over mid-off fielder for a four. It didn't come off the middle of the bat but had enough legs to run for a boundary.
Aaron Finch has been bowled by Axar Patel. Axar dragged his length but Finch still decided to go for a big one and perished in the process. He departs after scoring 22 runs off 13 balls.
Aaron Finch and Cameron Green have started Australia's 209-run chase vs India in the first T20I in Mohali. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is bowling the first over.
Take it! A third six on row from Hardik Pandya to help India post 208 runs. Meanwhile, Hardik stays unbeaten on 71 off 30 balls. Coming to the ball, it was bowled short from Green and Hardik smashed the ball over third man for a six!
It gets even better this time. A stand and deliver stuff from Hardik Pandya. Green bowled it full and Hardik just extended his elbow for a biggie over long-off boundary.
Dinesh Karthik has been dismissed as LBW. Umpire was unconvinced over bowler Nathan Ellis' appeal and hence Australia decided to go upstairs. Ball tracking suggested it would have hit the leg stump by a fair amount.
