Australia defeated India by 12 runs in the third T20I at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Tuesday to avoid th꧟e clean sweep.

Chasing the challenging target of 187, India had a terrible start as KL Rahul was sent back to the dugout by Glenn Maxwell on the second ball of India’s innings.

After the early dismissal, captain Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan steadied the ship by adding a crucial stand of 74 runs for the second wicket. The partnership was broken by leg spinner Mitchell Swepson, who bowled brilliantly throughout the match.

Swepson removed Dhawan for 28, followed by two more dismissals in the form of Sanju Samson (10) and Shreyas Iyer (0).

Despite wickets falling at one end, Indian skipper Kohli continued his battle and reached another half-century 🌃in T20I cricket. The Indian skipper kept on scoring runs but did not get assistance from any other player.

Kohli made 85 runs off 61 balls while India could only manage t💫o reach 174/7, losing the contest by 12 runs.

Australian umpires have been a little too lenient with the wides in the second innings….am I the only one who thinks that way? 🤷‍♂️🧐

Despite the꧟ loss, India should be very proud of the way they have been playing T20 cricket, especially overseas. After ODI series loss, this short format victory should help during Test series.

Virat Kohli 85 off 61 balls. Normally when batsmen of his stature stay on the wicket for 61 balls, they get t💙o 100. Credit to Swepson and Zampa for containing him. The leggies bowled 24 balls to him and conceded only 29 runs.
