India level series with thrilling five-wicket win over Australia
India produced a dominant all-round performance to beat Australia by five wickets in the third T20I at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, levelling the five-match series 1-1. The visitors chased down a stiff target of 187 with nine balls to spare, thanks to Washington Sundar’s breathtaking 49 off 23 balls.
