In the opening match of the T20 series between India and Australia, the visitors won the match on the last ball by 3 wickets and took an unbeatable lead of 1-0 in the 2-match T20 series. India's Yorker king Bumrah (3/16) bowled his heart but unfortunately could not win for India.
What a Game! In hindsight, the game was about no - tail versus longish one. Number 8 and number 9 of Australia managed to squeeze win for India whereas India's number 9 was cheered along even when he just laid bat to ball.

Could MS have farmed the strike better ? And how will the management accommodate such big tail in a bigger game? 127 certainly was below par score but India brought their A game to the table and made a match out of it after being abysmal with the bat.
Man of the Match: Nathan Coulter - Nile 3/24:
I thought the boys bowled really well and we scraped home, We worked out quickly that the ball was not coming on to the bat. We have been playing a bit of cricket in the BBL. Really good to have won and hopefully we will have another one and win the series.
