India vs Australia 4th T20 Highlights: India win by 48 runs, lead series 2–1
India secured a dominant 48-run victory over Australia in the fourth T20 match, taking an unbeatable 2–1 lead in the series. Washington Sundar was the star performer, bowling only eight deliveries yet claiming three wickets for just three runs.
Match Summary
Australia were left chasing 168 but managed only 119 runs, eventually falling short as India’s bowlers tightened their grip. Sundar’s quick breakthroughs shattered Australia’s lower order, ensuring India could not lose the series.
Washington Sundar’s Impact
Sundar’s 19th over featured high drama. On the first delivery, Nathan Ellis lofted the ball high into the night sky, but Shubman Gill misjudged the catch. Moments later, Sundar bowled to Adam Zampa, who again targeted Gill, but this time, the fielder held on and laughed at his earlier miss.
“Leading edge and the easiest of return catches for Sundar. His 50th T20I wicket and he is on a hat-trick as well.”
Jasprit Bumrah’s Milestone
Bumrah claimed his 99th T20I wicket by bowling Ben Dwarshuis with a clever delivery. The Australian batter attempted a big shot, only to edge the ball onto his stumps. At that point, Australia needed 52 runs off 18 balls—an impossible task.
Closing Moments
With tailenders Dwarshuis and Ellis at the crease, the chase faded quickly. The final overs turned almost theatrical as India closed the innings with precision and control.
