    What a game!

    Superb advertisement for T20 cricket. The match swung like a pendulum, but it was Kohli, SKY, and Hardik in the end who help their nerves till the very end and won the game for their team. What an outstanding effort.

    India will next face South Africa in the 1st match of the 3-match T20 series on Wednesday. Until then, this is Kartik Mehindru, signing off.

    IND win by 6 wickets

    It's all over. India win by 6 wickets.

  • 10:31 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    6 off the 1st ball of the last over; gone on next

    WOW! 6 off the first ball of the last over and he is back in the hut on the very next ball. Well, they don't call Karthik the finisher for nothing.

  • 10:29 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND need 11 off the last 6 balls

    Well well well, you like last-over thrillers? Here is one for you! India need 11 off the last 6. Kohli will be on strike. 

  • 10:24 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    The Equation - IND 166/3 (18 overs)

    It has come down to 21 runs needed off 12 deliveries. Hardik looks a bit out of touch. Can Kohli do the job today?

  • 10:16 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 155/3 (17 overs)

    The equation for India is simple. They need 32 runs in the last three overs. With Hardik and Kohli at the crease, and DK still to come, India would fancy their chances. 

  • 10:10 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    50 For Virat

    Another typical Virat innings. He has held one end up and has reached his fifty in 37 balls. Can he finish the job? Exceptional innings nonetheless.

  • 10:02 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    SKY Falls

    Alright, SKY is back in the hut after another masterclass. Outstanding innings. He has put India in the commanding position and now it is up to Hardik and Kohli to finish this. 

  • 9:55 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    50 For SKY

    Well, this is not what Finch would have thought when he handed out the ball to Zampa. SKY takes full toll of the spinner and smashes him for 15 runs off the over and also got to his fifty in the process. WHAT. A. PLAYER.

  • 9:50 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 107/2 (12 overs)

    Kohli and SKY are continuing the good work. They have laid a solid foundation now. Well, much more than a foundation. The work is not done yet though. Let's see where these two can take the team.

  • 9:37 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 91/2 (10 overs)

    Well, this is some special hitting from Kohli and SKY. They have struck some lusty blows and haven't let the run-rate slip one bit. Both of them are trying to one-up the other in terms of glorious hitting.

    Surya, in particular, has raced away to 31 off just 17 balls. Australia under the pump here. Kohli, on the other hand, have played some really eye catching shots. Both of them are looking in prime touch.

  • 9:29 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 67/2 (8 overs)

    Kohli is looking in fine touch. The two hits vs Hazlewood seemed to have charged him up. Way to go though. These are good signs for India nonetheless. 

  • 9:13 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 30/2 (3.4 overs)

    Big big wicket for Australia. India lose Rohit Sharma and are now in some trouble. Kohli is still there but they will need SKY to play an able hand now.

  • 9:11 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 26/1 (3)

    Kohli and Rohit hit some lusty blows and is keeping the scoreboard ticking. Let's see how much longer these two can continue.

  • 9:02 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    All Eyes on Kohli

    Big run chase, pressure on the team with an early wicket, and Kohli walks in. Can he don his vintage avatar? 

  • 8:59 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND: 5/1 (1 over) - Rahul falls

    KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma walk out to the middle. Rahul on strike. Sams to open the attack for Australia. 

    Great start from Sams. India weren't expecting the short stuff, and Rahul is back in the hut. His poor form continues.

     

  • 8:43 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    IND need 187 to win 3rd T20 & the series

    Well, India were well and truly in control of the game, until all hell broke loose and Tim David came into his own. He reached to his fifty in 25 balls and powered Australia to a very good total of 186.

    Sams played an able hand, scoring 28 off 20 deliveries. 

    India now have some chasing to do..Stay Tuned! We'll be back in a while. 

  • 8:33 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 161/6 (18 over)

    Well, well, well, Tim David is having fun out there. What hitting! 21 runs off the over, and it is once again, Bhuvneshwar Kumar that is on the wrong side of the result. Serious issue for India heading into the World Cup.

  • 8:19 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 123/6 (15 overs)

    India have pulled things back pretty nicely and they are in total control in Hyderabad. One of Sams or David will have to inspire a powerful finish here, or else India could be looking at a rather low total to chase.

  • 8:09 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 115/5 (13 overs)

    Inglis is back in the hut and that will bring out Matthew Wade. Can he stir up another storm today?

  • 7:59 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 103/4 (12 overs)

    Australia have a fairly good score at the 12th over mark, but they'll need Tim David and Inglis to fire today. 

  • 7:46 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 84/4 (9.2 overs)

    Chahal come in - Smith goes out. India well and truly on top here.

  • 7:38 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS 75/3 (7.4 overs)

    Glenn Maxwell is run-out. India are back in the game. After Green, the Aussies haven't really fired the way they would have liked to

  • 7:25 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    Bhuvi Gets Green

    And the madness is over. Bhuvneshwar kept bowling wide to Green and finally gets the reward. Big wicket for India

  • 7:20 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    50 For Green

    Alright. This has been some show by Green. The wonderful striking of the white-ball and this has got to be one of the better innings against India in while. 50 off just 19 deliveries for Green.

  • 7:18 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 56/1 (4 overs)

    The game is 4 overs in and Green is 1 run short of a 50. This is madness. Pure brutality from the Aussie opener. India is in some serious trouble here. Axar has been smacked like a club bowler here. 

  • 7:15 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS 44/1 (3.3 over)

    Finally..some respite for India. Axar comes in and sends Finch packing. Green is still there though. 

  • 7:10 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS: 23/0 (2 overs)

    Alright, Green means business. He is striking them hard and looking to send every other ball into the orbit. The Indian bowlers need to careful here not to lose control of the game in the Powerplay itself. He has raced away to 21 off just 10 deliveries. 

  • 6:36 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    AUS Playing 11

    Australia Playing XI

    Aaron Finch(c), Cameron Green, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Josh Inglis, Matthew Wade(w), Daniel Sams, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

    Josh Inglis in; Sean Abbott out

    KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(w), Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal

    Just one change for the Men in Blue: Bhuvneshwar comes in; Rishabh Pant misses out! 

  • 6:31 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    Toss Details

    India have won the toss and opted to bowl.

  • 6:19 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    Will Toss Matter?

    The Pitch at Hyderabad remains the same throughout the course of 40 overs. Keeping that in mind, the skipper that wins the toss might want to chase. Historically too, the chasing teams have had better of their opponents at this venue. But it won't be win the toss - win the match kind of day for sure. 

     

  • 6:12 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    Dinesh Karthik - The Finisher

  • 6:06 PM (IST) Posted by Kartik Mehindru

    Rishabh Pant to make way for Bhuvneshwar?

    The last match saw Pant come in place of Bhuvi due to the game being reduced to an 8-over affair. But since it is expected to be a longer affair today, Bhuvi may get back in the 11. The team may even go ahead to replace Bhuvneshwar Kumar with Deepak Chahar.
