    "editor1": "<p>Guwahati, Oct 10 -&nbsp;An all-round Australia thrashed India by eight wickets in the second Twenty20 International (T20I) to square the three-match series 1-1 at the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Barsapara Stadium here on Tuesday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 37,500-odd crowd at India&#39;s latest venue anticipated a run feast but were denied, thanks to a disciplined bowling effort from the tourists, who opted to bowl on winning the toss after a light drizzle.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nChasing a paltry 119, Australia initially got a taste of their own medicine from India&#39;s new ball pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to be reduced to 13\/2.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSkipper David Warner (2) was the first man to be dismissed off a short-pitched ball from Bumrah before Bhuvneshwar struck with the wicket of the in-form Aaron Finch (8), comfortably caught by captain Virat Kohli on both occasions.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAll-rounder Moises Henriques (62 not out) and Travis Head (48 not out) then started the repair work cautiously before launching an all-out attack on the Indians to eventually end up with a 109-run undefeated third wicket stand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/full-scorecard\/2302\/2nd-t20i-india-v-australia-1\">Full Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>India&#39;s wrist spinners -- Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav -- failed to generate any purchase from the wicket like their Aussie counterpart Adam Zampa.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nHenriques was the more destructive of the two, as the right-hander brought up his second T20I half century by clobbering Kuldeep for two successive maximums ending India&#39;s hopes.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, Australia rode on the pace of Jason Behrendorff (4\/21) and leg-spinner Adam Zampa (2\/19) to pack off India for a paltry 118.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBehrendorff used the overcast conditions well to send back the duo of Rohit Sharma (8) and skipper Virat Kohli for a duck in the very first over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nRohit looked good during his brief stay, starting off with two boundaries before an in-swinger from the pacer trapped him plumb in front.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOne ball later, Kohli found himself cramped for room, forcing him to play across the line but only resulted in a caught and bowled dismissal for Behrendorff.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe third over witnessed the dismissal of Manish Pandey (6) before opener Shikhar Dhawan (2) was packed back in the next over by Behrendorff.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nTottering at 27\/4, Kedar Jadhav (27) and former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (13) joined forces but Australia looked simply unstoppable on the night.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIndia on the other hand, failed to get going with Dhoni being stumped for the first time in a T20 International after adding 33 runs for the fifth wicket with Jadhav.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nJadhav looked fluent during his stay, slamming three boundaries and a six to get to a run-a-ball 27 before being outfoxed by a wrong one from Zampa.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nReeling at 70\/7 by the 13th over, all-rounder Hardik Pandya offered some resistance with a 23-ball 25, but a brilliant low catch by Dan Christian at the long off boundary off Marcus Stoinis spoilt India&#39;s last chance to accelerate the scoring rate.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEarlier, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal declared the stadium open for international cricket, minutes before the toss was won by the Australian skipper.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
