It was a must-win T20I for India as Australia came into the match 1-0 and a chance of winning the series.

Though the Australian team got a good start after they chose to bat first after winning the toss and Short making 33 and Finch making 28. But the Indian spinners, especially Krunal Pandya brought India into the game as Pandya picked a career best 4/36. Australia managed to put 164 on the board, thanks to a late surge by Stoinis, who made 25*.

Virat Kohli anchored the Indian chase with a classy 61* after Shikhar Dhawan (41) and Rohit Sharma (23) gave India a flying start. India lost meaningless wickets in the middle to put them in a spot of bother, but Kohli, along with Dinesh Karthik (22*) took India to a win and equaled the series.
