In a stunning reversal of fortunes, India emerged victorious against Australia in the second T20 match of the series. After a disappointing exit in this year's World Cup, the Indian team, led by captain Suryakumar, showcased a remarkable turnaround in this T20 series.
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, Australia’s Matthew Wade set the stage early in the match. The Indian team’s opener batsmen, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad, proved successful, with the pair putting up an impressive 77-run partnership in just 5.5 overs. Yashasvi, in particular, dazzled with a spectacular 53 runs off 25 balls before being dismissed.
However, India's response was equally formidable. Ruturaj Gaikwad continued his excellent form, contributing 87 runs off 58 balls, forming a crucial 58-run partnership with Ishan Kishan. Despite losing early wickets, the Indian batting line-up showcased resilience, with Kishan adding 52 runs off 32 balls.
Star player Rinku Singh also displayed consistent brilliance, scoring an unbeaten 31 runs off just nine balls, steering India to a competitive total of 235 runs in 20 overs. Australia's Nathan Ellis took three wickets, limiting the damage for his team.
In their chase, Australia faced a formidable Indian bowling attack. Despite efforts from Matthew Short (19 runs), Josh Inglis (2 runs), and Glenn Maxwell (12 runs), the team struggled to make an impact. Steven Smith's 16 runs off 19 balls and Marcus Stoinis's 45 runs off 38 balls were the only notable contributions.
With an outstanding bowling display, Krishna took 3 wickets, while Ravi Bishnoi and Harshal Patel claimed 3 and 2 wickets, respectively. Australia managed to score only 191 runs in their 20 overs, falling short by 44 runs.
This win places India ahead in the five-match T20 series, leading 2-0. The next match is scheduled for November 28th in Guwahati, promising another exciting encounter between the two cricketing giants.
