"India have levelled the Twenty20 series against Australia, sharing the blows with the bat for a five-wicket win with nine balls to spare in Hobart. The hosts posted 186-6 on Sunday night on the back of an explosive 74 from 38 balls from Tim David batting at No 4 and a Marcus Stoinis half-century. Australia kept themselves in the hunt with regular wickets in India's chase, before Washington Sundar's unbeaten 49 from 23 got India home."
"Earlier, after Australia were sent in, David whacked an impressive 74 from 38 balls featuring five sixes and eight fours. The 29-year-old came to the crease with his side 14 for 2 in the third over and made India pay for dropping him on 20. David launched two sixes from the spin of Axar Patel in the seventh over, including one straight that hit the signage on top of the Ninja Stadium roof."
Australia batted first and scored 186-6, powered by Tim David's 74 off 38 balls and Marcus Stoinis's 64 from 39. Nathan Ellis took 3-36 for Australia, removing openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. India lost wickets at regular intervals during the chase but maintained the required run-rate. Washington Sundar finished unbeaten on 49 off 23 to guide India to a five-wicket victory with nine balls remaining in Hobart. A prior washout in Canberra leaves the five-match series level at 1-1 with two fixtures remaining, including a crucial game on the Gold Coast.
