India bounced back strongly to defeat Australia by 48 runs in the fourth T20I at Carrara’s Heritage Bank Stadium on Thursday. This win puts India ahead 2-1 in the ongoing five-match series.
India posted a total of 167 for 8, boosted by Shubman Gill’s 46 runs off 28 balls and a quick 21 off 11 by Axar Patel.
Australia was dismissed for just 119 runs. Despite a solid start from Mitchell Marsh (30) and Matthew Short (25), India’s bowlers turned the game around.
“Washington Sundar’s three-wicket burst and Axar’s tight bowling sealed the deal for India,” noted commentators.
India now leads the series 2-1, moving closer to securing the overall victory in the five-match contest.
