India vs Australia 2nd T20I: Australia Beat India by Four Wickets
Australia successfully chased down India's total despite losing several wickets near the end. The match had a few tense moments, including two late dead ball calls in the 14th over bowled by Kuldeep Yadav.
During one delivery, Kuldeep seemed slightly hurt in his bowling stride. Marcus Stoinis followed up by pushing the next ball through covers for a couple of runs, leaving Australia just two runs short of victory with 42 balls still remaining.
Jasprit Bumrah wrapped up his spell with a precise length ball angling into Xavier Bartlett, who defended solidly. That over yielded three runs and two wickets, bringing Australia's total to six wickets down while chasing 126 runs, suggesting the pitch was not easy to bat on.
Matt Short’s innings began with a stunning Bumrah yorker that sent the stumps flying — a sharp, 137kph delivery that he couldn’t keep out. Earlier, Mitch Owen struggled with the bat and got out attempting an off-drive that was edged to Sanju Samson, following a sharp review by Suryakumar Yadav.
“Kuldeep gets the third ball of the 12th over to rush through to Inglis, who completely missed his flick off the back foot.”
