India had a strong start in the chase, courtesy Abhishek Sharma (25) as he and Shubman Gill (15) added 33 runs for the opening stand. Captain Suryakumar Yadav (24) looked in great touch but couldn’t carry on the start that he had.
Australia made a slight comeback with wickets at regular intervals but Washington Sundar (49*) changed the game for India with his brilliant innings. He slammed six on the first ball that he faced and then didn’t look back, taking his team home.
