In a thrilling display of spin bowling prowess, India clinched a decisive 48-run victory over Australia in the fourth Twenty20 match held on the Gold Coast. The visitors’ spin trio, led by Washington Sundar, orchestrated a dramatic collapse of the Australian batting lineup, restricting them to a mere 119 runs while chasing a target of 168. Sundar’s remarkable spell of 3-3 in just 1.2 overs was complemented by Axar Patel’s 2-20 and Varun Chakravarthy’s 1-26, collectively dismantling the hosts’ middle and lower order. Earlier, India posted a competitive total of 167-8, anchored by Shubman Gill’s solid 46 off 39 balls. Despite Adam Zampa’s 3-45 for Australia, the home team faltered under pressure, with skipper Mitchell Marsh’s 30 off 24 balls being the highest individual score. With this win, India took an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series, setting the stage for the final match in Brisbane on Saturday.
