India

Team India recently secured a resounding victory against Australia in the final T20I, wrapping up the series with a 4-1 triumph. In a thrilling encounter at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India batted first, posting a competitive total of 160/8 in 20 overs. Shreyas Iyer led the charge with a solid 53 off 37 balls, while Axar Patel and Jitesh Sharma contributed valuable runs. The Australian bowling duo of Jason Behrendorff and Ben Dwarshuis claimed two wickets each.

In pursuit of 161, Australia’s batsmen were restricted to 154/8. Despite Ben McDermott’s commendable 54 off 36 balls, Indian bowlers displayed exceptional composure.

With 10 runs needed off the last over, Arshdeep Singh conceded only three runs, ensuring victory for the Men in Blue.
