Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli scored half-centuries before Hardik Pandya struck an unbeaten 25 off 16 as India prevailed in a tense finish in the third T20I against Australia to seal the series 2-1.
Cameron Green powered Australia’s blazing start while Tim David engineered a good finish to the innings, helping Australia to 186/7 after the visitors had lost their way in the middle overs. Suryakumar and Kohli put on a 104-run stand for the third wicket off only 62 balls, a partnership that provided the muscle for the chase. Australia gave India some nervous moments towards the end but the hosts got over the line with a delivery to spare.
