India vs Australia Highlights: India Clinch 48-Run Victory
With the series level at 1-1, the fourth T20 offered both sides a chance to take the upper hand. India accomplished this with a composed and disciplined bowling display, defeating Australia by 48 runs.
India’s Bowlers Take Control

Varun Chakravarthy’s well-disguised googly proved too sharp for Glenn Maxwell, leaving Australia struggling at 103 for 6 after 17 overs. Arshdeep Singh further tightened the screws with a smart slower delivery that removed Josh Philippe.
Consistent Pressure from India
Axar Patel maintained excellent control, finishing his four overs with figures of 2 for 20 on a surface that challenged the batters. Shivam Dube’s two early breakthroughs kept India well in contention, while Bumrah’s sharp deliveries tested the Australian batters.

- Washington Sundar: 3 wickets
- Australia needed 52 off 21 deliveries before collapsing
Strategic Considerations
Kuldeep Yadav was absent as he joined India’s ‘A’ team ahead of the South Africa Tests, forcing India to rely on a modified bowling lineup. Despite this, the attack remained sharp and adaptive, keeping Australia’s chase in check.
Key Moments
Stoinis tried holding the innings together but found limited support. Maxwell’s dismissal further deepened Australia’s trouble as the required rate soared above 12 per over. Meanwhile, Cricket Australia’s analysis noted that Josh Inglis attempted to handle Bumrah’s short deliveries from the front foot, with mixed success.
