INDIA SECURES A THRILLING VICTORY TO MAKE IT 4-1 IN T201 SERIES

India secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Australia as they successfully defended a challenging total of 160 on a track where scoring runs proved to be difficult. Shreyas Iyer played a crucial role in India’s innings, contributing 53 runs, while quick contributions from Jitesh and Axar added to the competitive total.

In Australia’s response, Travis Head wasted no time, initiating the chase with three consecutive boundaries that put pressure on the Indian bowlers. Despite an early loss with Philippe departing cheaply, Australia had a strong start, accumulating 40 runs in the first four overs. This prompted SKY to introduce spin into the attack.

Although Ravi Bishnoi conceded a six, Head fell victim to the wrist-spinner in the very next ball. The spinners then applied consistent pressure, resulting in a significant drop in the scoring rate as they bowled six consecutive overs.
