Win Projections to be updated soon
After winning their 14th straight T20I series at home, dominant India will try to maintain their supremacy against a weaker Australia. The five-match T20I series final between the two nations will now take place in Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Australia won a key toss and chose to field first in the fourth Twenty20 International. The Indian opening pair put up a partnership of 50 runs, which was a respectable start. But Aaron Hardie’s dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal ended the promising collaboration. Tanveer Sangha and Hardie teamed up shortly afterward to send the top order back to the pavilion with a score of 63/3. India reached 174/9 because to 46 from Rinku Singh, 32 from Ruturaj Gaikwad, and an important contribution from Jitesh Sharma.
Australia had a good start with a respectable first stand while chasing 175. But after Josh Philippe was removed for eight runs by spinner Ravi Bishnoi, the tide soon turned. Before long, Travis Head fell for number thirty-one. Australia were losing wickets often, with only Matthew Wade (36), and Matthew Short (22), being able to provide any kind of resistance.
Throughout the innings, India’s bowlers applied constant pressure, holding Australia to 154 for 7 in 20 overs. The home team won by a comfortable 20 runs thanks to this victory. This will be the second time these two teams have faced off at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where the fifth T20I will take place. In the first instance, Australia won by seven wickets with two balls remaining.
