India vs Australia 2nd T20I: Australia Wins by Four Wickets
Australia lost several wickets late in the chase but still managed to reach the target comfortably. There were a couple of last-second dead ball calls during the 14th over bowled by Kuldeep Yadav. One of these calls seemed to affect Kuldeep as he was in his delivery stride.
Stoinis hit the second ball through cover and ran two, a minor moment that gave India some small consolation. Australia needed only two runs to win with 42 balls remaining.
Bumrah finished the over with a tight length ball angling into Xavier Bartlett, who defended it cautiously in a test-match style. This over yielded three runs and two wickets, making it six wickets lost in Australia's pursuit of a modest target of 126, showing that batting conditions were challenging.
Matt Short was welcomed to the crease by a sharp Bumrah yorker that uprooted the stumps. The yorker, delivered at 137 kph, was too precise for Short to counter.
Mitch Owen struggled with the bat and was dismissed on the fourth ball of the 13th over. Owen edged a ball outside off, and Samson took the catch. Suryakumar Yadav's review confirmed the dismissal.
Earlier, Kuldeep rushed a ball to Inglis in the 12th over, who missed his flick off the back foot entirely.
"Australia need just two runs to win (off 42 balls, in case you are wondering)."
"Stoinis then knocks away the second ball through cover and runs two."
