India v Australia: India beat Australia by six wickets to level the series.© AFP
Ind vs AUS Highlights: Chasing a goal of 91, Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 46 guided India to a second T20I win by six wickets at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. Rohit handled the boundary as India levelled the series with four balls. Earlier, Adam Zampa sacked KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav with three bats. The pair scored 20 in the first game, batted by Josh Hazlewood. Matthew Wade’s powerful strike gave Australia a 5-90 lead earlier in the rain at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. India opted to bowl first after the game was reduced to eight runs per side. Aaron Finch gave the visitors a strong start, catering to Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah before Australia lost a string of wickets. Australia appeared to be in trouble, but Wade’s 20-ball 43 took Australia to a strong total. Bumrah returned to the XI and replaced Umesh Yadav. Rishabh Pant also came back as Bhuvneshwar Kumar sat down. Australia has also made some changes, with Sean Abbott and Daniel Sams replacing Nathan Ellis and Josh Inglis. Earlier throws were delayed due to a wet outfield. (Score card)
