3rd T20I: Washington's Fluent 49 Helps India Level Series With Five-wicket Win Over Australia
With Jitesh Sharma: Though all-rounder Washington Sundar didn’t get to bowl, he stepped up when it mattered the most to smash an unbeaten 49 off 23 balls as India defeated Australia by five wickets in the third T20I at the Bellerive Oval on Sunday.
Chasing 187, India’s top seven contributed in patches, but it was Sundar’s late flourish, laced with three fours and four sixes, that sealed the win for India with nine balls to spare and level the five-match series 1-1. The result also marked Australia’s first defeat in six T20 Internationals at Hobart.
India began their chase with intent, as Abhishek looked in fluent touch to slice Xavier Bartlett for six, before carting Sean Abbott for two fours and a six. But the momentum shifted when Nathan Ellis struck twice in quick succession - Abhishek mistimed a pull and the top-edge was caught by the keeper, while Shubman Gill was trapped lbw.
