After suffering a four-wicket loss in the first T20I, Team India will be hoping to make amends when they take on Australia in the second T20I on Friday. Rohit Sharma's men must win both their remaining matches to make a comeback in the three-match series.
Vice-captain KL Rahul scored a half-century, followed by a sublime 71-run unbeaten inning from Hardik Pandya who helped the Men in Blue score 208/6 in their respective 20 overs.
In reply, Aaron Finch's side chased down the required total with four balls to spare, courtesy of Cameron Green's 30-ball 61, followed by Matthew Wade's unbeaten 45-run effort that sealed the result.
Now that the visitors have taken a 0-1 lead in the series, Rohit and Co will have to play out of their skins to try and salvage the series. They will be hoping for a better show from the bowling unit and with Jasprit Bumrah back in contention, the Men in Blue have gotten a huge boost.
