Match Summary:
Early on Australia set a decent 91 target off 8 overs in a rain effected shorten format of T20I at Nagpur and India got off to a flier courtesy of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul who looked to be dealing only in sixes for the first two overs where they’ve added 30 runs.
Adam Zampa was brought into the attack and claimed the wicket of KL Rahul in his first over. Then once again he’s turned the game on its head when he dismissed Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav back to back in his second over but India were still ahead of the required rate.
It gave Hardik Pandya and Rohit Sharma time to take control of the chase. Rohit Sharma stayed unbeaten on 46 in just 20 deliveries to take his team home along with Dinesh Karthik who has finished off the game with a Six and a four (10 off 2 balls). Series is leveled now with 1-1 and both the sides will be preparing to face each other in the series decider at Hyderabad on Sunday!

What a brilliant game it was even though it was just 8 overs. Love to see Rohit Sharma playing his natural game. Matthew Wade and his hitting consistency at the death overs looking dangerous and it may win them the T20I world cup once again.
