In a thrilling encounter at Hobart, Washington Sundar’s explosive unbeaten 49 off just 23 balls propelled India to a five-wicket victory over Australia in the third T20 match, leveling the five-match series at 1-1. Sundar’s heroics were complemented by key partnerships, including a 35-run stand with Tilak Varma (29) and a decisive 34-run collaboration with Jitesh Sharma (22 not out). Earlier, Australia had set a challenging target of 186-6, thanks to Tim David’s blistering 74 off 38 balls and Marcus Stoinis’ steady 64. Despite Nathan Ellis’ impressive bowling figures of 3-36, India’s disciplined chase ensured they never looked under pressure. India’s skipper Suryakumar Yadav praised the team’s all-round performance, highlighting the contributions of Sundar, Jitesh, and Arshdeep Singh, who made an immediate impact by dismissing key Australian batsmen early on. The fourth T20 is set to take place on the Gold Coast, promising more cricketing excitement.
