IND Vs AUS, 4th T20I: India Fight Back To Clinch 48-Run Win, Go 2-1 Up In Series

India pulled off a strong comeback to claim a 48-run win over Australia in the fourth T20I at Carrara’s Heritage Bank Stadium on Thursday, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. After posting 167/8, thanks to Shubman Gill’s 46 off 28 and a quick 21 off 11 from Axar Patel, India bowled out Australia for just 119. Mitchell Marsh (30) and Matthew Short (25) gave the hosts a promising start, but Washington Sundar’s three-wicket burst and Axar’s tidy 2 for 20 sealed the deal, earning Axar the Player of the Match award.
