Mohammed Shami to Mitchell Swepson, FOUR! An effort too late. Back-to-back wins for India at the Manuka Oval. Full and around off, Mitchell Swepson clears his front leg and launches it over covers. Hardik Pandya runs in to his left from long off but cannot cut it off. A boundary results but THE INDIANS WIN BY 11 RUNS!

Mohammed Shami to Mitchell Swepson, SIX! Where does this one go? All the way. Full and around off, Swepson clears his front foot and lofts it over mid off. Looks to be a catch for Pandya at long off.... he stretches but the ball goes well over him in the end.

T Natarajan to Sean Abbott, SIX! This is bound to happen. At the end of the innings. Short ball, Sean swings well over the deep mid-wicket boundary for a six.

T Natarajan to Mitchell Starc, OUT! BOWLED! And the yorker Natarajan cleans his left-arm counterpart from Australia. The angle is very good for a left-arm seamer. What a debut he is having. It was a yorker on off and middle, Starc gives himself some room and looks to go big over covers. But he misses and the ball crashes into the sticks.

Deepak Chahar to Moises Henriques, OUT! LBW! Moises is dismissed. Fullish on middle, Henriques had moved to the off side a touch. He looks to swing it to the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW is put and the umpire, Rod Tucker, raises his finger. Henriques gets to the other end and then flashes the 'T'. It is taken upstairs. Only bat can save Moises Henriques. But there is no bat, as confirmed from Hot Spot and Snicko. Ball Tracker just states the obvious - THREE REDS! The 6th wicket is down for the Aussies. They need 36 runs in 14 balls still.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Matthew Wade, OUT! TAKEN! What a spell of bowling this has been from Chahal. It was the last ball of his spell and he gets a wicket there as well. Matthew Wade has not had a good day. Tossed up around off, Wade sits down and mows a slog sweep. He hits is uppishly and straight down the throat of the Indian skipper at deep mid-wicket. Kohli does not drop this one. The Kangaroos need 40 runs in 18 balls still.

T Natarajan to D'Arcy Short, OUT! TAKEN! India in the game. The set batsman is gone. Big wicket for India. Cross seam full ball around off, Short looks to slog it over long on but does not get his timing right. It goes to Hardik at long on who takes it by coming forward a few steps. Australia still need 49 runs in 30 balls.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Nicely played from Henriques! 100 up for Australia. Loopy ball outside off, Henriques drives it past cover-point and picks up a boundary.

Mohammed Shami to Moises Henriques, SIX! Powered! Poor start from Shami! Short ball on middle, Henriques pulls it to the deep square leg region for a maximum.

T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! LBW! What a review from Kohli and India! What a moment for T Natarajan! He gets his first T20I wicket and has taken the big wicket of Maxwell. Brilliant use of the review. It looked plumb and the only thing that could have saved Maxwell was the bat but that did not happen. Natarajan bowls a good length delivery on middle and off, Maxwell looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is an appeal but the umpire is not interested. Kohli takes the review immediately. There is nothing on Ultra Edge but the Ball Tracker shows all reds. So, Maxwell has to walk back.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! Smith goes! Is that the game for India? Chahal gets another and Langer must be fuming in the dugout. 2 wickets for Chahal in two overs. Floated ball on middle, Smith heaves it to the deep mid-wicket region where Samson runs ahead and takes a terrific catch. Australia need 90 in 61 balls.

Deepak Chahar to Steven Smith, SIX! Smacked! Short ball on middle, Smith whacks it over the deep square leg region for a maximum.

Yuzvendra Chahal to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch from Hardik Pandya! After two dropped catches, finally one is taken and Finch after a good start has to depart. Guess who, the concussion substitute takes the wicket. It will be interesting to see the look on Langer's face right now. Tossed up on off, Finch looks to go downtown but gets a top edge and it goes towards long off. Pandya runs ahead and then dives to take a magnificent catch. 106 needed in 74 balls.

T Natarajan to Aaron Finch, EDGED AND FOUR! Runs in any way are welcome for Australia. 50 comes up for them as well. Aaron Finch was very very lucky there. It was full and around off, the Aussie skipper looks to drive it through the covers. He though gets an inside edge. The ball goes past the stumps and into the fine leg fence.

Mohammed Shami to Aaron Finch, SIX! Ohhh! What a pickup shot. Shami goes a little fuller than the previous balls. Bowls it on middle and leg, Finch comes down and picks it up and deposits it way over deep backward square leg.

Mohammed Shami to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Once again, the ball has come straight, off the air and in the pitch. Nothing much wrong with the ball though. Just a little short on off, Finch backs away and cuts it through point for a boundary.

Washington Sundar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! It was not that short though. Just short of a length and on off, Finch goes back and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Mohammed Shami to D'Arcy Short, FOUR! Not the start that India would have wanted. Not a good ball from Shami. Short and outside off, D'Arcy strokes it through the covers. It was stroked firmly and well wide of the man at cover. A boundary results.

Mohammed Shami to D'Arcy Short, FOUR! Terrific shot that. Just on top of the ball and letting the pace do everything. Shami drags it down and gives a little bit of room outside off. Short latches onto it. Cuts it through the point region for a boundary.

Deepak Chahar to D'Arcy Short, FOUR! Just a touch fuller but Short is ready for it. Beautiful shot. Full and around off, he leans into the ball and drives it past the bowler. Mid off gives chase but the ball wins the race.

Deepak Chahar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! In the air but well in the gap. Aaron Finch is not afraid of playing such shots. Short and outside off, Aaron skips down the track and strokes it wide of a diving mid off fielder for a boundary.

Deepak Chahar to Aaron Finch, FOUR! That is a perfect start for Australia. Finch does not want Deepak to settle into a rhythm. It was short and outside off, Aaron Finch comes down and drags it down to the mid-wicket boundary.
