New Delhi (India) November 2: India requires no half-centuries as they decisively knock off the 187-run chase in Hobart. They won with five wickets and 9 balls in hand to even the series.
Balanced Effort Guides India
Cameos by Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav at the beginning of the chase led, followed by stabilizing the middle overs. Subsequently, Washington Sundar plundered four sixes to run 49 * off 23 balls with Jitesh Sharma’s help. Australia finishes 186/6, and India may be content with their work. They keep picking up regular wickets to claim wickets was the reason. Tim David and Marcus Stoinis make excellent advances, India have a big chase down but an achievable total on the good batting wicket. Tim David had an excellent innings of 74 off just 37 balls, but he fell victim to Shivam Dube. After an excellent catch by Tilak Varma in the deep, Suryakumar Yadav was happy to win as captain of India.

Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh said that they were probably 20 runs short. They tried our best with the ball, but they were too good. He loved the intent with the bat. He thought Tim David played great too. He showed his experience, which was great. It was probably a bit of a blessing we couldn’t play (Glenn) Maxwell.
