(Cricket News) India won the 5-match series 4-1 against Australia. Travis Head and Josh Phillippe started the 161-run chase for Australia, starting on an explosive note with 14 runs off the first over of Arshdeep Singh.
Mukesh Kumar was quick to break the opening partnership as he dismissed Josh Phillippe. Arshdeep Singh gave just 3 runs in the final over as India secured a nail-biting victory against Australia in the 5th T20 international. Ravi Bishnoi also demonstrated the magic of his spin.
With Rinku Singh and Shreyas Iyer at the crease trying to stabilise the Indian innings, Team Australia is in a vulnerable position as the wickets are falling quickly. Australian pacers have dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Suryakumar Yadav in quick succession. However, Shreyas Iyer, the vice-captain of Team India, smashed a magnificent half-century to take India towards a fightable score of 160/8 after 20 overs.
The Men in Blue have already secured the series with a victory in the fourth T20, but a 4-1 victory could help make the series memorable for Surya, who is leading the Indian side for the first time in international cricket.
