Daniel Sams to Virat Kohli
SIX! High! And long enough as well. Full on middle, Virat flicks it with all his power and sends it high in the air.... and well over deep mid-wicket as well.

Daniel Sams to Virat Kohli
SIX! WOW! We have waited a long time to see such an innings from Virat. Shortish ball down the leg side, following Kohli. Virat Kohli picks it up and deposits it over the fine leg boundary. Just wow!

Daniel Sams to Virat Kohli
Flicks this off his pads to deep square leg for a single.

Daniel Sams to Hardik Pandya
Short and outside off, Pandya looked to hammer that over point. But he misses that one. We all know what happens if he connects.

Daniel Sams to Hardik Pandya
SIX! Talk of connection! Hardik Pandya has joined the party. 20 runs off Daniel Sams's second over. Outside off, Kung Fu Pandya jumps and hammers it well over and wide of the man at deep point. A six to finish.

Andrew Tye to Virat Kohli
Kohli moves to the off side. The ball was wider of him, he lets it be. No wide called. Surprising. Maybe because he moved to the off side.

Andrew Tye to Virat Kohli
Very full and around off, glanced to the leg side for a single.

Andrew Tye to Hardik Pandya
Misses! Pandya is dismayed with himself there. Slower length ball outside off, he looked to hammer it over covers but misses.

Andrew Tye to Hardik Pandya
FOUR! That was hit with power. Look at the force behind that strike. Outside off, Hardik Pandya hammers it through the covers for a boundary.

Andrew Tye to Hardik Pandya
SIX! WOW! Unbelievable. Length ball outside off, a check drive from Pandya. That was all. That was all. He ends up sending the ball over the bowler's head and for a half a dozen.

Andrew Tye to Hardik Pandya
WIDE! Andrew goes for a bumper but ends up overcooking it. Hardik lets it be.

1
Andrew Tye to Hardik Pandya
Outside off, flat-batted to wide long off for a single. 13 runs from that over. The visitors need 43 runs in 18 balls. Still very much gettable.

Adam Zampa to Hardik Pandya
OUT! CAUGHT! Leading edge. This has been taken. Good captaincy from Finch. Full on middle and leg, Pandya's eyes lit up on seeing that. He looks to slog it over the leg side but gets a leading edge. It is uppish and goes straight into the hands of Aaron Finch at backward point. Aaron backtracks a little and takes it with ease.

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli
FOUR! The call was for two but Virat gets a boundary there. Full and around off, Kohli drives it firmly and uppishly over Zampa. Long on runs to his left but fails to cut it off.

Adam Zampa to Washington Sundar
Tossed up outside off, Washington Sundar gets down and looks to slog sweep that one but he misses. Should look for the quick singles instead of such stuff.

Adam Zampa to Washington Sundar
In the air.. but lands safely. A single. 150 up for India. Tossed up outside off, WS skips down and lofts it over the bowler's head. It falls safely ahead of the long off fielder. A single taken.

Adam Zampa to Virat Kohli
WADE MISSES A STUMPING OPPORTUNITY! Kohli riding on a good deal of luck as well here. This was tossed up on the pads, Virat comes down the track and looks to slam it on the off side. He though misses to connect on that one. It comes off his pads, goes behind. Wade fumbles and a leg bye is sneaked in. Oh my goodness. How costly will that be!

Andrew Tye to Virat Kohli
OUT! TAKEN! An outstanding catch from the seamer. Andrew Tye it is. Kohli goes. And so do India's chances. Full and outside off, Kohli comes down the track and strokes it uppishly towards deep point. Daniel, the man in the deep, takes a scintillating catch, diving to his left.

Andrew Tye to Shardul Thakur
SIX! 27 needed now in the last over. Full and on the stumps, Thakur powers that over deep square leg for a huge half a dozen. He can bat, Shardul Thakur. But the asking here is way too much.

Sean Abbott to Washington Sundar
FOUR! Good strike this on the off side. India still in the game. 23 still needed though. Outside off, Washington hops and hammers it over the covers. Sweeper cover gives chase but the ball is well wide of him and goes away to the fence.

Sean Abbott to Washington Sundar
OUT! CAUGHT! Sundar is gone. This match is going away from India. Full toss well outside off, would have been a wide had he left it. But Washington Sundar goes after it. He strikes it uppishly but Tye, at deep backward point, runs in and takes the catch.

Sean Abbott to Shardul Thakur
SIX! Shardul can strike all right. Low full toss on off and middle, Shardul picks it up and sends it soaring over wide long on for a maximum. 17 required from 3 balls now.

Sean Abbott to Shardul Thakur
Short ball, Shardul pulls at it. It is uppish.... but lands ahead of the man at deep square leg. Just the 2 runs there. Thakur is disappointed with himself.

Sean Abbott to Shardul Thakur
Back of a length ball around off, Thakur looks to slog it on the leg side but he misses his connection. A dot ball. Australia cannot lose now.

Sean Abbott to Shardul Thakur
DROPPED! Well, the game ends with a catch being dropped. Pretty charecteristic of the fielding in the series itself. Short ball, Shardul Thakur pulls hard at it. It goes high in the air to the man at deep mid-wicket who spills the sitter. A couple taken by the team from South Asia. But it does not matter as the AUSTRALIANS WIN BY 12 RUNS! INDIA THOUGH, WIN THE T20I SERIES 2-1!
