In a high-octane encounter at the picturesque Belerive Oval, India capped off a thrilling five-wicket win AustraliaAdjust the five-match T20I series following a washed-out opener and Australia’s win in the second game.
Tim David and Marcus Stoinis, Australia Australian Competitive Total
The Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav, won the toss and elected to field, with early seam movement to be used and the predatory threat of the dew, the Indian bowlers immediately justified the decision. THE AUSTIST PREPARATION ORDER collapsed under the disciplined onslaught of the PACE and Mystery Spin Duo. Travis Head (6 off 4) and captain Mitchell Marsh (11 off 14), Josh Inglis (1 OFF 7), followed by power play remain in a precarious position.
3 of 30 shots are in the trend, but the arrival Tim david and Marcus Stoinis launched a spectacular counter-attack. The two veterans stitched together a game-changing, rapid-fire partnership, not only saving shots, but setting off for a formidable target. Dawood in particular was spectacular, showing mercy and aggression towards Smash 74, running out 38 deliveries with eight fours and five piles. Stoinis, the perfect foil, anchor and attacking 64 off 39 balls in equal measure.
Arshdeep Singh, Matthew Short (26 Off 15) reached Australia despite delays from Stoinis and Dawood, who fell to the last man of the match 6 for 186 competitiveness.
India’s bowling was a mixture of brilliance and expense. Arshdeep Singh was the star claiming 3 wickets for 35 runs including many overs in the overs. Varun Chakaravarthy, with 2 wickets for 33, the economical Jasprit Bumrah restricted the flow, riding on just 26 runs in his four overs.
India’s Chase: The Sundar Storm
Chasing 187 on the fast track hobart surface, India’s top order set a blistering pace. Abhishek Sharma (25 off 16) and Shubman Gill (15 off 12) provided a quick start, but it was the pyrotechnics of Suryakumar Yadav (24 off 11) who kept the run rate above 10.
However, the Australian bowlers, led by the consistent Nathan Ellis (3/36), managed to reel India back in time, preventing any batsman from conceding a massive total. Tilak Varma (29 off 26) played a necessary anchor, but as the middle overs duly dragged, the game hung in the balance.
The incriminating moment came when Washington Sundar came at the crease. Exceptional clean hitting and maturity under pressure, Sundar launched an incredible onslaught, scoring 49, 49 off just 23 balls with three fours and 4 maximums. Impressively supported by Jitesh Sharma’s explosive 22, Sundar’s sensational effort made the Australian side fight back. The duo secured the target of 188 off nine balls to clear the target in 19 overs.

When he did a good job, he was fired.
He came back, hit a length and silenced any doubters, 3/34 from 4 overs.
Arshdeep Singh, take a bow! 🙌🏻🔥
