India outplayed Australia by (20) runs in the fourth T20I match of the five-match series on Friday in Raipur to take the series-winning lead of 3-1. India, after being put into bat, posted the total of (174) from (20) overs after losing nine wickets. India were off to a confident start with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad scoring (37) and (32) respectively. Shreyas Iyer and Suryakumar Yadav fell cheaply for (8) and (1) but Rinku Singh's career-best knock of (46) off (29) helped India get to a fighting score. Jitesh Sharma too hit some impressive shots to score (35) off (19). Australia, in their chase of the total, had a flying start with in-form batter Travis Head scoring (31) off (16). But, Indian spinners Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi denied Australia to capitalise on the great start. Axar Patel returned with three wickets while Bishnoi took one wicket, however he remained quite economical with (17) runs from his four overs. There was some fightback from Matthew Wade with his late-hitting as he scored (36) off (23) but Australia fell short, thus losing the game along with the series.
