India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights
Washington Sundar bowled only eight deliveries but took three wickets while conceding just three runs, helping India secure a 2-1 lead in the series. This victory means India cannot lose the series, with Australia's only chance now to draw by winning the final match at The Gabba.
Key Moments
- Sundar came back to bowl the 19th over. Nathan Ellis attempted a big hit on the first ball, which went high into the night sky. Shubman Gill ran from long on and positioned himself under the ball but dropped it.
- Gill quickly returned to his position, and on the very next ball, Sundar bowled to Adam Zampa. Zampa tried to clear Gill but fell short, and Gill caught the return, laughing at the reprieve.
- Jasprit Bumrah claimed his 99th wicket in T20 internationals on the last ball of the match. Bowling a missed yorker, Ben Dwarshuis attempted a powerful but clumsy shot, bottom-edging onto his own stumps.
Score and Situation
Australia was 116/8 after 17 overs and needed 52 runs from 18 balls, a challenging task for their tailenders. Ben Dwarshuis faced Bumrah’s final over with Nathan Ellis at the other end, but the chances of a comeback were slim.
"Leading edge and the easiest of return catches for Sundar. His 50th T20I wicket and he is on a hat-trick as well. Final rites being told here in the Australian innings."
