India bounced back in style to level the T20I series 1-1 with a convincing five-wicket win over Australia in Hobart. Tim David’s explosive 74 off 38 had powered the hosts to 186 for 6, but India chased it down with nine balls to spare.
Arshdeep Singh was the star with the ball, claiming 3 for 35 and removing key batters, including Travis Head and Marcus Stoinis. Varun Chakravarthy and Jasprit Bumrah kept the Australian middle order in check with disciplined spells.
In the chase, every Indian batter chipped in, but it was Washington Sundar who stole the show with an unbeaten 49 off 23 balls. Alongside Jitesh Sharma’s quickfire 22*, he guided India home calmly after early setbacks.
The two sides now head into the next clash with the series finely poised, as India looks to build on this dominant all-round display.
