India beat Australia at home after five years

After captain Rohit Sharma’s explosive batting, India has leveled the three-match T20I series against Australia at 1-1. On Friday, the game was reduced to 8-8 overs after a two-hour delay due to a wet outfield.

Australia, who batted first, scored 90 runs after losing 5 wickets in 8 overs. Chasing a target of 91 runs, India won by 6 wickets after losing 4 wickets in 7.2 overs. Matthew Wade played an innings of 43 runs off 20 balls for England who lost the toss and batted first. Similarly, when captain Aaron Finch scored 31 runs, the performance of other players did not remain dynamic. Akshir Patel took 2 wickets for India while Jasprit Bumrah took 1 wicket.

Chasing a target of 91 runs, captain Rohit Sharma played an unbeaten innings of 46 runs off 20 balls while Dinesh Karthik contributed an unbeaten innings of 10 runs off 2 balls. Similarly, KL Rahul’s 10 runs and Virat Kohli’s 11 runs were double scores for him. It was Australia’s first defeat on Indian soil since 2017. Earlier, Australia won the first match. The final and decisive T20 between these two will be played in Hyderabad on Sunday.
