Cricket Score, India vs Australia 1st T20I: Score and updates for IND vs AUS T20 match in Visakhapatnam.
India vs Australia T20: Australia beat India by three wickets in the first match of the two T20I series on Sunday in a low scoring thriller that went down to the very last ball.
India managed only 126 for 7 in their 20 overs against Australia despite a half-century from comeback man KL Rahul. Save Rahul's 50 off 36 balls and Mahendra Singh Dhoni's unbeaten 29 off 37 balls, none of the other Indian batsmen could manage a significant knock. For Australia, Nathan Coulter-Nile took 3 for 26 in four overs. Glen Maxwell top-scored for Australia with a 43-ball 56. For India, Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets.
The seven-match series comprising two T20 Internationals and five ODIs against a struggling Australian side will be India's last international assignment before the mega event starting May 30 in England and Wales.

2. IND vs AUS 1st T20: Head to Head
)
India vs Australia 1st T20: The shortest format is exactly not the one where where India have been very consistent. A recent 1-2 series defeat against New Zealand is a testimony.
India may be ahead 11-6 on head-to-head in T20s but they have drawn 1-1 their last two series against Australia -- at home (2017) and away (2018) -- with rain playing spoilsport. It was way back in 2016 when India under MS Dhoni last won against Australia, a 3-0 clean sweep Down Under as this time Kohli's men will look to settle the scores with a 2-0
