India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights: IND beat AUS by 48 runs, take 2-1 series lead

India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights

Washington Sundar bowled only eight deliveries but claimed three wickets while giving away just three runs. His performance ensured India took an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series against Australia.

The best Australia can now do is to draw the series by winning the final match at The Gabba.

Key Moments

At the 19th over, Ellis attempted a big hit on the first ball which went high into the night sky. Gill ran in from long on but dropped the catch. He quickly returned to his position.
Sundar bowled the second ball to Zampa, who tried to clear Gill but failed to get enough distance. Gill caught the return catch and laughed about the chance.
Jasprit Bumrah claimed his 99th wicket in T20 internationals on the last ball of his spell. A missed yorker led Dwarshuis to take an awkward shot, hitting his own stumps.

“Ben Dwarshuis is on strike, facing up to Bumrah who will be bowling his final over now. It might all be a bit too much for the tailenders to do.”

Australia was at 116/8 in 17 overs and needed 52 runs from 18 balls, but the tailenders struggled to keep up.

Sundar took his 50th T20I wicket with an easy catch from a leading edge, bringing him onto a hat-trick. The Australian innings were clearly nearing their end.

Summary

India’s bowling, led by Sundar’s impactful spell, effectively secured a strong series lead with Australia faltering in the chase.
