All-round India inflict 44-run defeat on Australia to go 2-0 up in T20I series

Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone with a 25-ball 53 that helped India collect 77 runs in the powerplay after being invited to bat by Australia captain Matthew Wade

Ishan Kishan would carry on from where Jaiswal left off, scoring a second consecutive half-century and adding 87 for the second wicket with Ruturaj Gaikwad

Rinku Singh continued to flay the Australian attack in this series, smashing an unbeaten 31 off just nine deliveries to help India post a mammoth 235/4

Wrist-spinner Ravi Bishnoi struck twice in successive overs to trigger a mini-collapse, which left Australia reeling at 58/4

Tim David and Marcus Stoinis however, came to Australia’s rescue with an 81-run partnership for the fifth wicket that came in just 38 deliveries

Bishnoi and Mukesh Kumar however, dismissed David and Stoinis respectively to dash Australia’s hopes of heading to Guwahati with the series level

Australia could only manage 191/9 in the end to concede a 0-2 lead to India in the five-match series
