Match Summary

Australia secured a hard-fought four-wicket win over India in the 2nd T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to level the series 1-1. Despite Rohit Sharma’s brilliant 68 off 37 balls, India could only post 125 runs before being bundled out in 18.4 overs. Australia then chased down the target in 17.5 overs, losing six wickets.

India Innings – 125 all out (18.4 overs)

India had a disastrous batting outing after being sent in to bat. Rohit Sharma played a captain’s knock, smashing 68 runs from 37 balls with boundaries all around the park. Suyash Rana supported with 35 off 33 deliveries, but the rest of the batting lineup collapsed dramatically. Gill (5), Sanju (2), Suryakumar (1), and Tilak, Kuldeep, Jasprit all fell cheaply.

Australia’s bowling unit was on fire — Josh Hazlewood picked up 3/13, while Xavier Bartlett and Nathan Ellis grabbed two wickets each. Marcus Stoinis added one wicket to cap off an excellent bowling performance.

Australia Innings – 126/6 (17.5 overs)

Chasing a modest 126, Australia started confidently through Travis Head (28) and Mitchell Marsh (46). India tried to fight back with quick wickets in the middle overs as Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, and Kuldeep Yadav all struck twice, but it wasn’t enough. Josh Inglis (20) and Mitchell Owen (14) ensured the chase was completed comfortably.
