10 greatest Indian victories against Australia

5.India vs Australia, Mohali 2016

It was a must-win encounter, the winner of which would progress through to the semifinals of the 2016 ICC World T20. Australia won the toss and after a blazing start found it hard to sustain the momentum, thanks to some excellent bowling by the Indians. The opening 6 overs produced 59 runs , but the final 14 overs produced only 100 as Australia finished with 160 for 6 in their 20 overs.

As had ben the case throughout the tournament, India got off to a poor start and were soon reduced to 49 for 3. Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh then stitched together a stand of 45 runs before the latter was dismissed for 21. It seemed India would fall short when they needed 39 runs in 3 overs, but Kohli accelerated right at the nick of time, blasting 19 runs off the 18th over bowled by James Faulkner before belting four fours off Nathan Coulter-Nile to stage a fantastic win for the hosts.
