India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights
Washington Sundar bowled only eight deliveries but took three wickets while conceding just three runs. This performance ensured India secured an unbeatable 2-1 lead in the series. Australia can now only aim to draw the series by winning the final match at The Gabba.
Key Moments
- Sundar returned to bowl the 19th over. On the first ball, Ellis hit the ball high into the night sky, but Gill, positioned at long on, dropped the catch. However, Gill recovered quickly, took the second catch off Zampa’s shot, and laughed off the earlier miss.
- Jasprit Bumrah claimed his 99th T20I wicket on the last ball of the match. He bowled a missed yorker, and Ben Dwarshuis, attempting a big swing, bottom-edged the ball onto his own stumps.
Match Situation
Australia needed 52 runs from 18 balls, but the task looked unlikely for the tailenders. At one end was Ben Dwarshuis facing Bumrah’s final over; Nathan Ellis was at the other end. Australia’s score was 116/8 in 17 overs.
